World class stupid. I’ve heard that God looks out for the truly stupid among us, and cuts them a little extra slack. This guy deserved a Darwin Award for this, and got cheated by that slack he was working with. But I have no doubt he’ll get his award before long.
It’s kind of annoying, though, because not everybody gets the same break. You can’t open a newspaper without reading about someone who loved life, cherished family, tried to be careful, and got hit by a car. A few years ago, here in Santa Barbara, we had a terrible storm. A creek flooded in a canyon, and the wave of water crashed through a man’s home and swept him away.
Yeah, I’ve decided that it’s metaphysically untenable that this moron went over the waterfall and lived. He’s lucky that God is infinitely, though inscrutably, more merciful than me.
