At one time, Einstein assured that there are only two infinite phenomena in the world - this is the Universe and human stupidity. And, unfortunately, the media is increasingly confirming this bitter aphorism of the great scientist.
Truly, stupidity is indestructible. For some reason, one "wise guy" who checks the nervous system of others and his body for endurance is being replaced by more and more detachments of people without "brakes" and attempts to analyze their actions. This means that the following question will never cease to be relevant: the dumbest person in the world - who is this?
Darwin Prize - an award for people who hit the world with their stupidity
This award, as its name implies, in some way refers to the teachings of Darwin. It was founded at one time by several Americans, whose names have not yet been named (they maintain anonymity and communicate with the world only through the Internet). The founders of the award consider it their duty to publish the details of unusual acts and the names of people who gave their lives or health for the purification of the human gene pool.
The Darwin Prize (by the way, it is not expressed in monetary terms) is awarded to the most stupid, stupid person in the world, who destroyed himself in the most ridiculous way, which managed to remove his genes from the general human gene pool. Those who diligently tried to do this, but at the same time survived, are awarded the same virtual certificates of honor as the prize.
Select candidates from many thousands of citizens different countries, information about which is carefully checked. So, for example, all messages that have not been confirmed by the media are rejected.
And here are those who were awarded the Darwin Prize
We bring to your attention the stories that happened to the candidates for the Darwin Prize.
One of its winners, by the way, determined by interactive voting as the dumbest person in the world, Steve Conner, worked as a zookeeper in California. He distinguished himself by feeding a constipated elephant a huge amount of a laxative for animals, after which he decided to observe from the rear how the treatment was going. A few minutes later, Conner was crushed under a hundred pounds of elephant dung.
And here is another way to deprive humanity of defective genes. One thief in Antwerp (Belgium), robbed an apartment and was forced to flee from the police chase. He jumped out the back door, climbed a nine-foot wall and found himself ... in the city jail. Well, that's good too!
The Guinness Book of Records can also confirm human stupidity
But not only the Darwin Prize can tell you how far a person can go in his stupidity. In the famous Guinness Book of Records there are a lot of examples that can only cause regret about the narrow-mindedness of some individuals.
Andrew Dahl can be attributed to such stupid record holders. This young man, eager to become famous at any cost, blew twenty-three balloons with his nose in three minutes and achieved his goal, becoming a real celebrity. But at the same time, he received at the same time the title of "The dumbest person in the world" » .
The record of the Luxembourger Georges Christen seems no less "brilliant". This man made a 10-meter sprint while holding a table with a girl sitting on it in his teeth. That would be such a hero in advertising toothpaste!
And in the case of the Frenchman Louis Collet, you can get completely confused, because this man was able to come up with the longest speech in the world! It would seem, well done! But it’s still difficult to call him smart, since he delivered this speech on the radio for 124 hours ...
Does a biography matter with the title of "The dumbest man in the world"?
The life of a person nominated for a Darwin award, I think, proceeds quite normally at first. As a rule, it is no different from its neighbors. This is a typical layman who has a family, dreams of beauty, but at the same time suffers from an acute need for fame, which pushes him to commit insane acts. True, most of all in the nomination "The dumbest person in the world" are the winners of people who are not used to thinking about the consequences of what they do.
What is worth only the news that has spread all over the world about two West German motorists who literally collided head-on with each other. It happened in the small town of Guetersloh during a dense fog. Both eccentrics drove slowly, while sticking their heads out the windows of their cars (probably thinking that they would see more) and collided foreheads! They were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, but the cars were not damaged.
In parting, a few more stories about the nominees for the title "The dumbest man in the world"
Doctors can tell many creepy and funny stories about human stupidity.
So, one day a man called the emergency room, who suspected that the bartender had poured him too much alcohol. When asked how he could be helped, the caller demanded that he be urgently taken to the hospital and checked the level of alcohol in his blood there, as he wanted to pinch the scoundrel.
Another hospital received a man with a complaint that he stops hearing in one ear when ... he puts his finger in it. How about a patient who drank paint to get rid of stomach pain? Say, it will cover the walls of his stomach with a protective layer! Or a young lady who, in her dreams of a snow-white smile, brushed her teeth with a toilet "duck"? Yes, human stupidity is ineradicable.
It turns out that you can get a world prize for your stupidity, stupidity and ignorance, which is probably commensurate in scale with the famous Nobel Prize.
Award " World stupidity awards)" founded by the Comedy Festival "Just for Laughs" was first awarded in 2003. (Unfortunately, I was able to find information about its holding only, even in 2006. Maybe some of you have heard of other presentations of it, let me know - I will be grateful to you for this.)
So back to the 2006 idiot awards, there's a lot to laugh at:
The dumbest person of the year Donald Thompson was recognized - an American judge who, right during court hearings, was engaged in masturbation with a penis enlargement pump. (that's what I mean by democracy)
The judge was well ahead of his rivals, US Vice President Dick Cheney and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who also claimed the highest title.
Award for The most stupid saying of the year the jury of the competition awarded lawyer Harry Whittington, who was accidentally shot by Dick Cheney himself while hunting. The lawyer, apparently, decided to bend over or whatever came into his head incomprehensibly, but he decided to apologize to the Dick Cheney family, so to speak, for the "inconvenience caused." (deflection is fixed - get a bonus)
The dumbest act of the year
. This award was presented to Dick Cheney, just for the very shot on the hunt for a lawyer. (and he seemed to do everything right - lawyers got divorced immeasurably, it's time to shoot one at a time) Zinedine Zidane (French footballer) also claimed the award for headbutting an Italian at the World Cup, as well as the editor of the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, who missed publication in the newspaper cartoons of the prophet Muhammad.
Awards for Turning a Stupid Situation into a Stupid Situation honored American Nick Flynn. Looks like he had a passion for visiting museums since childhood. And on one of his visits there, he managed to break three Chinese vases of the Qin dynasty at once. After that, having turned on the correct thinking, he began to criticize the museum management for carelessness in the arrangement of exhibits.
They decided not to offend US President George W. Bush and awarded him two awards at once. First Prize for The most idiotic mismatch position. 
Second for The dumbest phrase,
uttered by him to the head of the US Federal Emergency Management Agency Michael Bryan, when discussing measures to eliminate the consequences of hurricanes: “Brownie, your work is on fire!”
The most interesting thing is that the award for Exposing the planet to danger did not go to the governments claiming it North Korea and Israel, as well as the leadership of Hamas, but went to the victorious Oil Industry.
The call to "kill people in the name of God" was awarded the prize The dumbest trend of the year.
And in conclusion, the award referred to as - for Long-term merits in the field of stupidity, was awarded to the region - the Middle East.
In continuation of this topic, a few videos starring the dumbest people in the world:
Some of the following idiotic acts captured on video ended in tragic deaths:
Surfing is one of the ways to make money on the Internet.
Help the drunk.
Do you want to lose weight?
The most beautiful beards.
Volumetric drawings on asphalt.
Where is Ray located?
Airbrushing for cars. Issue 1 (30 photos)
Mister resilient.
Living stones of Death Valley.
A challenge for kids!
How to pack a suitcase for a trip.
No matter what idiotic actions humanity has committed over the centuries, these are all flowers compared to the future. Scientists (and not only British ones) have discovered that people are rapidly becoming stupid. The Flynn curve (growth of human intelligence over decades), which the apologists of progress used to like to refer to, not only slowed down, but also began to plummet downwards. And not only on the scale of individual educational institutions Whole nations are starting to go stupid! Blaming it all on newfangled hobbies for gadgets won't work, because the curve went down back in the 1970s, when the prototypes of tablets and smartphones were only in science fiction.
But even against the background of the general stupidity of mankind, individual individuals will give odds to the entire population. Their actions are so stupid that entire websites are dedicated to them and even awards are given out.
The dumbest people on earth
10 Gary Allen Banning
Opens the list of human stupidity winner of the Darwin Prize - posthumously. In 2012, Gary was visiting a friend and spotted a sauce can filled with a mysterious golden liquid. What will a smart person do? Ask what it is. Gary decided that it was someone's drink and immediately took a sip. It turned out to be gasoline, which the owner used to wash parts.
The idiot buddies were having a lot of fun when Gary spat out gasoline and poured all over their clothes, but their laughter quickly turned into horror when he decided to smoke to calm down ... The poor fellow died in the hospital from burns.
9. Andrew Hennels
Influence social networks everyone, even the most asocial elements, is susceptible. Andrew Hennels was caught bragging on Facebook that he was going to rob a supermarket. In addition to boasting, the post contained a selfie of the future criminal and a picture of his favorite knife. The police assessed the likeness and detained Andrew 15 minutes after the robbery.
8. Harry Hoey
Harry worked as a lawyer on the 24th floor of an office building in Toronto. The windows of the building were said to be impossible to break, and Hoi liked to brag about that. He even demonstrated to law students the achievements of Canadian glass building. So one fine day in 1993, Hoi, in front of the students, as usual, ran up and slammed his shoulder into the glass. No, it didn't break, but just flew out of the frame entirely along with Hoi.
7. Lukasz Chojnowski
In 2014, a retired couple from Lancashire returned home only to find a burglar sleeping peacefully on their bed. The robber, however, was polite and distinguished by excellent manners - he washed all the dishes, washed their clothes and even bought some food.
The hostess admitted that the house was not particularly clean, but thanks to the efforts of Choinovsky, it really shone. “True, he burned the old frying pan, but who doesn’t happen to him,” the old woman said magnanimously. The illegal assistant received two years' probation and was forced to pay a £200 fine. But he could make a good housekeeper.
6. Philippe Kontos
A normal person tends to agree with maxims like "Don't get in, you'll kill" or "If you ride a motorcycle, wear a helmet." However, American motorcyclists are not like that! They even stage entire demonstrations about their right not to wear a helmet while riding. So in 2011, more than 550 alternatively gifted people marched on the roads of New York State to claim their right to drive dangerously. Until one of the Protestants named Philippe Kontos slammed on the brakes so as not to crash into the bike in front, flew out of the saddle and hit his head on the pavement. The doctors who examined the body said that if he had worn a helmet, he would have survived.
5. Nick Flynn
The year 2006 will be remembered by the staff of the Fitzwilliam Museum in England for a long time. It was then that a certain Nick Flynn, going down the stairs, managed to stumble and in flight down to hook and break three Chinese vases, standing deep in niches. They were at least three hundred years old, they cost about 200 thousand dollars each.
Precious objects survived uprisings in China, two world wars - only to be smashed to pieces by some fool. Moreover, instead of being horrified by the severity of what was done, Nick Flynn did not even apologize and instead began to reproach the museum management: they say that they do not store their valuable exhibits well! This is what earned him the award in the nomination "Who is the dumbest person in the world" from the World Stupidity Awards.
4. Rhys Owen Jones and Keri Mules
What does an ordinary person with at least average intelligence do during a trip to Australia? Sightseeing and shopping. But Welsh tourists were made of a different dough! First things first, they got drunk, then broke into a nearby zoo where they swam with dolphins, blew a fire extinguisher into a shark pool, and then stole a penguin from there (don't ask).
To the credit of the robbers, it must be said that they tried to take care of the bird to the best of their ability (even despite the hangover) - they fed him and let him swim in the bathroom. They were later caught trying to release a penguin into a canal.
3. Shamizo Kanyama
And now let's move from sunny Australia to no less sunny Zimbabwe. Shamizo served as a pastor in his city and believed that God had given him the ability to heal people. So when five people from his hometown asked for help in curing a mysterious illness, he, without hesitation, ordered them to bury him in the ground. Shamizo motivated his non-standard desire by the fact that in this way he would be fed by the energy of the earth. The five listened to the pastor.
Later, after a predictable outcome, all five were accused of murder, despite numerous witnesses confirming their version of what happened.
2. James Allan
One of the most idiotic robberies in the world happened in 2012 in the city of Abington, England. Someone James Allan tried to rob a shop selling printed products. During the robbery, he took off his balaclava several times (and turned out remarkably well on camera), fell on a drink counter and brought it down, and at the end he could not even open the door to escape - because he was pushing, not pulling. The saleswoman, whom he had recently threatened with a toy gun, had to help him and open the door in the right direction.
But these are still flowers - the main thing is that James, apparently distinguished by constancy in his habits, tried to rob the same store exactly ten days ago.
1. Donald Thompson is the dumbest person ever
Judge Donald Thompson was named the dumbest person in the world according to the World Stupidity Awards. For 23 years he worked in court. And right during the court hearings, he used a penis enlarger for masturbation, and the severity of the proceedings did not stop the hand with the pump. Apparently the laurels of a man with haunted Thompson.
As one of the court correspondents said: “One case was especially difficult, grandfather testified about the murdered grandson, who was barely starting to walk, everyone was crying. And the judge under the table worked as a pump.”
However, Themis does not like being ridiculed. Thompson was sentenced to four years in prison for contempt of court and indecent exposure during court hearings. Surprisingly, the proceedings in this case did not turn into an extravaganza of laughter and jokes, although smiles constantly played on the faces of the jury, and both the prosecutor and the defendant's lawyers repeatedly depicted with gestures what exactly the 59-year-old Donald Thompson was doing under his judicial mantle.
Many of us dream of becoming famous, however, we cannot boast of anything outstanding. Someone chooses a career, trying to reach unprecedented heights in it, someone concentrates on creativity, and someone tries to stand out by setting extraordinary world records. However, the word "extraordinary" is hardly appropriate to characterize many of the highly questionable achievements listed below. Let's be honest: these are the 10 dumbest world records. See for yourself.
This, of course, is not sawing an assistant with a saw during a performance by an illusionist, but it is also quite risky: in 2012, Bipin Larkin and Ashtra Furman set a new world record for cutting watermelons on the stomach with a machete. They managed to split 48 of these large berries in a minute.
If Robin Bobin Barabek ate forty people, then the Frenchman Michel Lotito ate the whole plane. Since childhood, he had a habit of eating anything not very edible, including parts from televisions and bicycles and bank cards. Well, the apogee of everything was the Cessna aircraft, which took Michel two years, from 1978 to 1980.
And what about the biggest dog wedding ever? No, it's not what you think. In 2007, Jill Cobb led the ceremony, during which 178 dogs said "yes" to each other and barked in delight.
The fastest bed making is even cool. Andrea Warner, the manager of one of the English hotels, was the fastest in the world to make a huge double bed. She spent only 74 seconds on it.
Filipino Gerard Jess set a new world record with the help of ... gases from his intestines. Simply put, Gerard farted and blew out the candles. Well, let's applaud, because he managed to put out as many as 5 candles. An amazing achievement of human thought.
Well, this talent may even be useful to its author in some way: British teacher Jill Drake managed to scream at a volume of 129 dB.
You know, yelling loudly and quickly making the bed is all right, because it can be applied to something in real life. Do you like to plant snails on your face? Fin Kecheler, an 11-year-old American from Utah, planted 43 snails on his face.
This guy really has balls of steel! Kirby Roy took a serious blow in a rather painful competition: MMA fighter Justice Smith hit him in the crotch with a speed of 35 km / h and a force of 498 kgf.
Les Stewart always wanted to set some kind of record, but, unfortunately, he did not have any outstanding talent. However, he was not taken aback and decided to print the numbers from one to a million in words. Yes, that's right, he typed "one, two, three" and so on, until he settled on the cherished goal of "nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-eight, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine, one million." This important work took 16 years and 7 typewriters.
10 dumbest world records 
All finish. We've reached the King of the dumbest records. Meet Ashrita Furman. He got into the Guinness Book of Records as the person who set the most a large number of world records, including 27,000 overhead clapping jumps, the fastest 1-mile run with a baseball in hand, and jumping on the world's smallest pogo stick (spring stick). In total, Ashrita has 551 world records. Okay, some of them are really impressive. Respect, Mr Furman!
