Considering Darwin knowingly ingested toxic substances for digestive ailments, certainly seems applicable.

The duct tape pinstripes must have been a real selling point but I'm surprised they didn't splurge for the green duct tape !
Quite right chum, likely as not the duct tape was just holding the car together. The car itself looked as though it had been stolen from the local scrapyard.

I suspect it has been a long while since it passed an MOT too.

Regards,

Jay.

When I was growing up my Grandma used to give me Chinese medicine containing arsenic (when Inwas old enough to read the ingredients list) for tummy ailments. ?

In my sixties now, so obviously didn't do me too much harm. ?
The arsenic must have been in homeopathic doses.

Don't forget the bismuth, amyl nitrite, morphine, quinine, and the mercury containing calomel.

These are very funny but they are not Darwin Awards. You know to be a true Darwin Award winner the person receiving it has to have died. They all are awarded posthumously.
