February, 2004 Vol.5. NO.2 ...............................................................................Pages 2 and 3
Darwin Award: Sand Surfing At the Spring Nationals country festival in Shepparton, a celebration truck drove noisily down Main Street at a sedate pace of five miles per hour, with frolicking people climbing all over it. The sight of the slow-moving truck gave a visitor from Cranbourne a bright idea. He decided to surf along behind it. All decked out in his big Mexican hat with a can of beer in one hand and a rope attached to the back of the truck in the other, he slid along the surface of the road on a piece of cardboard having a wonderful time…until the rope caught beneath the truck, and he was pulled under the wheels. As if becoming a human speed bump weren’t droll enough, the photo on the front page of the newspaper showed the corpse in a body bag—with the Mexican hat beside it!
