The Latest Darwin Award
Man Shoots Himself Taking Selfie

This is somewhat appropriate for Texas. A guy poses with a gun for a selfie and manages to shoot himself in the throat.

Reminds me of an incident on Guam back in the 90s when I lived there. Shooting ranges there are very popular with Japanese tourists. The American wild west thing. One tourist managed to shoot himself in the ass with a .45. Or maybe it was a .44 - whatever big gun Clint Eastwood used in his western movies. The spent shell casing went down the back of his shirt and burned his skin. He reflexively reached back there with the gun and gave himself a second crack. He was just an out-patient though and was back at the range the same afternoon - short of a little dignity.

This Texan won't be shooting any more selfies or guns though.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
