Darwin Award-like Odd News Awards

Odd News Awards tries to stay away from Odd News in which people do stupid stuff that takes them out of the gene pool. That is the clear niche of the Darwin Awards.

After you just finished doing your taxes, you could have sworn that vampires were already in high places in government and it is little solace that short of a stake through the heart this guy at least believes that he will never die. Ok that even sounded really odd when I explained it just then.
