I'm afraid I don't get it either. I understand that concept of the 'Darwin Awards'. People -- particularly adults, who should know better -- who get killed doing really, REALLY stupid things. But this was a young boy. Perhaps he should have known better (although I'm not exactly clear how he managed to impale himself.. "collecting conkers"??) but he was only 12 years old. Kinda sad, if you ask me.

I think this thread is a swing and a miss, Samildanach.
