#10:Obviously it took the devs a while to perfect their system to get all those Non-Combat Lions.
And, on the last one, maybe being exposed to the internet could actually help at some point.
Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.
This one is so awesome I'm gonna post it here it's about the legend himself Chuck Norris.

If someone were to ask you who the last person anyone should ever dare to mug is, what name would be your answer? This lister is betting on 80% or better of respondents answering, Chuck Norris. Amazingly, astoundingly, two idiots managed to try just that. It happened in 1994. Norris mentions this whole thing in his autobiography, Against All Odds. And, by his testimony, this is what happened. Honest to God, it really happened. In 1994, right at the beginning of his run as Walker, Texas Ranger, Norris was, and still is, living in Dallas, Texas, where the show was filmed. One day he was walking down the street by himself, no entourage, no fans following him, no bodyguards, not even his wife. He turned a commercial block in the downtown skyscraper area and saw two men a little bigger than he coming straight for him from the other end of the block. They were staring right at him, and he figured they wanted autographs, which he enjoys signing. So he walked up to them and stopped with a smile, whereupon they stood in front of him, whipped out a couple of large pocketknives, and one of them demanded, Give me your wallet, Chuck! Give it here! Norris actually opened his mouth wide and then asked, Are you insane!? No! We know who you are! And we know you got a lot of money! Now give it up, or youre dead! Now before we go further, let us just go over a few of the particulars. All jokes aside, Chuck Norris truly does have the following black belts: 1st degree in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, 8th Degree Grandmaster in Tae Kwon Do, 9th degree in Jeet Kune Do under Bruce Lee and Lees best student, Dan Inosanto, 10th degree in Shito Ryu Karate, 10th degree in Tang Soo Do, 11th degree in Chun Kuk Do. Granted, the last art is his own concoction, a hybrid of all the best moves he has learned over the years, all blended for both self-defense and competition, and you are only allowed a 10th degree or better in anything when you found your own dojo. But suffice to say, the muggers didnt even use guns. From a hundred feet away. They used knives within arms reach. What happened next was rather anti-climactic. The police arrived about 4 minutes later, 3 officers in two cars, and were greeted by the scene of two men with SEVERELY broken arms (the bones had gone through the skin) sitting on the curb, two bloody knives in the gutter, and Chuck Norris, the Almighty Himself, leaning against the wall, wearing his beard, jeans, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat .he shrugged at them. The police started laughing so hard that they bent over, holding their sides, unable to put the handcuffs on the muggers. One of them managed to ask, Did you not know who he was?! One of them said, Yeah, we knew who he was! We figured all that crap on TV was fake! |
I love Chuck Norris!
Ok, I dunno how true this really is, but if that Chuck Norris one is real, that has to leap immediately to the top of the Darwin Awards 
Classic 
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
Guys tried to mug Chuck Norris without guns? HILARIOUS.

Reminds me of the incident where these burglars realized they were robbing Dolph Lundgren's house after they tied up his wife xD

Doesn't the Darwin Award require the person to die or no longer able to reproduce as a direct result of this major act of stupidity? Mugging Chuck Norris with knives is incredibly stupid, but is not eligible for the Darwin Award.

The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.
The Chuck Norris incident reminds me of the legend of when Bruce Lee was reported as working or practicing in his backyard and some idiot hopped the fence and challenged him to a fight.
Bruce was rather furious that his home was violated and put all his fury, speed and power into one kick.
Fight was over before it started.

Generally yes, but I think they also give out the occasional honorary Darwin to people who survive such stupidity.

Those examples are worse than the guy who knocked out a girl outside a texas nightclub then tried to punch the next guy who confronted him...
Suprise! The next guy was Roger Huerta "El Matador" of MMA fame. The beat down was over quickly.

heehee, also when did the Dolph Lundgren thing happen, that's hilarious too.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

Not a Darwin Award if the person is still able to reproduce. If Chuck Norris kicked them in the groin, then they would be eligible for the Darwin Awards. Since he didn't, then they aren't eligible.

#4 is my favorite.
1) How do you not realize a warship when you see it?
2) If you did realize it, what on earth got it into your head that you could capture a 453 foot ship armed to the teeth with advanced weapons systems and loaded with over 200 highly trained military personnel... with a handful of guys in a dinghy using AK-47s and a couple of RPGs?

NCSoft will be getting no more of my money and my GW2 purchase was halted the day of the announcement. I'm a loyal and very profitable customer. I hope to return to giving them all of my money, should CoH survive.

SPS Patino - Spanish Navy replenishment tanker
Somme - French naval command and replenishment tanker, Flagship of the French anti-pirate fleet.
Spessart - German naval tanker.
Now, admittedly all of the above ARE tankers, they just happens to be ones with ship-mounted guns, on-board security detachments, support helicopters, and in a some cases, missile launchers.

HNLMS Tromp - Royal Netherlands Naval frigate
