Scientifically proven now: Men are idiots

It’s official - men are idiots! Analysis of the Darwin Awards for stupid deaths reveals the ‘winners’ are overwhelmingly male
Darwin Awards is an annual review of most foolish way people have died
Scientists were surprised to discover 90% of award ‘winners’ were male
Worthy candidates include a terrorist who opened his own letter bomb
Another man attempted to travel by hitching a shopping trolley to a train
One man lost a testicle while using a belt sander to pleasure himself
But was excluded from award after he repaired scrotum with a staple gun

According to “male idiot theory” (MIT) many of the differences in risk seeking behaviour, emergency department admissions, and mortality may be explained by the observation that men are idiots and idiots do stupid things.16 There are anecdotal data supporting MIT, but to date there has been no systematic analysis of sex differences in idiotic risk taking behaviour. In this paper we present evidence in support of this hypothesis using data on idiotic behaviours demonstrated by winners of the Darwin Award.17 18 19 20 21
