I was just thinking it was likely a YouTube stunt, which still confuses me. You don't even get a cookie.

Reminds me of the two local guys who were running from the cops in the dark and decided to vault a fence. Turns out that it was protecting a culvert. 20 foot fall. The cops had no trouble nabbing them after that.

I feel really bad for the tragedy and hope they have a speedy recovery. My heart goes out to them.


Just kidding! I hope they both die from humiliation and never procreate.

Man, being from a town like Darwin must suck. No matter what, your obituary will be used for lulz.

They need a higher cliff.

Obviously G-d knew these men would fall from the cliff and created the cliff of non-lethal height, but tall enough to teach these men a lesson.

You are assuming that "gravity" actually happens.

Gravity. It's not just a good idea; It's The Law.

This must be in Australia, heck in America they would have been put in jail and then charged tons of money for the rescue. Here it sounds like the police laughed at their idiocy and left...

Maybe it's hotter when you do it with a chance of death. Not my area of expertise, but probably less dangerous than bugchasing.

One is 50 and the other is 27? Both are men? Something's unnatural.

Huh--I'd have figured the hispanic pop. would be more religious than whites, but maybe that's just Mexico.

Yeah, I was noticing that it made no sense whatsoever. To relay what it was trying to relay it would have to be a histogram, wouldn't it? Shouldn't the bottom axis be frequency and not percentage (assuming a sample of 100)?

 
brainiac-dumdum [TotalFark] 2008-05-04 10:06:25 PM  
That would be a hypothesis, not a theory. A theory is something that you deduce through your testing and observation of the hypothesis.

What I love most is how many get Darwin's theory mixed up with social Darwinism.

okee, two plus two.. private area behind fencing, two people refusing to elaborate on why they are there... if i were their aquaintance (sp?) i'ld be laughing quite a bit at the silly pair.

/and it would go on for MONTHS

Is Darwin's life work summed up with the statement that stupid people die?

Because that's what Farkers seem to think...

Isn't that a bit of an oversimplification?

Besides, the cliche is getting really tired, subby

I mean, I hate to shiat in everyone's cereal, but I'm pretty sure Charles Darwin didn't venture on the HMS Beagle just so Farktards can reference his name every time some idiot offs him or herself in a hilarious way...besides, if that person already produced offspring, the whole "Darwin" point is moot, right?

It's been a while since undergrad, but am I missing something?

Selfabortion: Newsflash Jimmy Page: The average IQ of any population is 100. That's how the test works.

ugh. no.

Your IQ is based off the test's results-- the tests do not set different IQ levels on a country by country basis (countries are what the graph shows)


If the test gives an average of 100 in one country, and you take it to another country and get an average of 70, that would indicate a lower general intelligence in that country.

Basically, smarter people should score better, stupid people should score worse.

No idiot, but the source listed for his graph and your's paired are implying it thx to *YOUR* suggestion(if your ignorant enough to dis-include cultural pressures and a myriad other factors to fancy a straw man (you making straw men, never)), so you thought of it up to point out, project much racist?
