Community Spotlight: Gaia's Darwin Awards - Share Your Own!
Quote:
As you, a dedicated student of natural history, no doubt already know, the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin is tomorrow. If you're wondering how he's survived to such a ripe old age, it's pretty simple: by eating the many rare and exotic species of the Galapagos islands.
The Gaia Team has such immense respect for the man and his cockamamie theories about apes becoming men and finches becoming giant tortoises and whatnot that we've decided to celebrate with a very special one-time celebration: Gaia's Darwin Awards, showcasing a few unlucky members who managed to get themselves spectacularly ejected from Gaia's gene pool.
These awards are an opportunity for our Customer Service staff to dig painfully into their historical annals and yank out some of the goofiest bans in history. It's a great way to learn an important lesson about science, history, togetherness and not getting banned for doing something really, really, really silly.

"The Darwin Awards" in real life are stories about people dying from doing very stupid things.
Funny stuff.
