DARWIN AWARD

HORNET CHALLENGE

Confirmed by Darwin.

27 JULY 2000, CAMBODIA

A motorcycle taxi driver in Phnom Penh challenged his neighbor to stand beneath a hornets’ nest while two men pelted it with stones. The fifty-three-year old neighbor should have known better, but he had a local reputation as a ‘strong man’ to uphold. He stood beneath the nest and the pelting commenced. The man endured the pain of countless stinging hornets before expiring from the toxic injections. Apparently he was not as strong as he thought.
