Jeez, some people are just insane.

[SteppingRazor]

1. A Darwin Award nominee if ever I saw one. n/t

[mike_c]

2. ahhh, natural selection at work....

eom

[afdip]

3. definitely darwin award material . . . seconded

[acmavm]

8. No, an example of the results of 'intelligent design' .

.

[Loonman]

4. At least his soul was prepared

Mormons don't fear death.

[calico1]

5. Darwin award for sure!

What a bafoon! He would rather kill himself than hear someone swear. Ass!

[Marr]

6. What's an LDS mission?

[IkeWarnedUs]

7. Latter Day Saints

Otherwise known as the Mormans.

[Marr]

12. Ah- thanks.

[Lerkfish]

13. I've been told that Mormons and LDS are split...

so they aren't the same thing, exactly....FWIW. I'm certainly no expert, though.
I think its sort of like Freewill Baptists and Southern Baptists.

Just wanted to throw irrelevant trivia in the ongoing insanity!

but regardless, anyone who thinks its a good idea to jump from a moving car has been watching too many saturday morning cartoons.

[Walt Starr]

21. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints IS the Mormon Church

The Reformed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a splinter group which is also polygamous.

[Lerkfish]

26. thanks for the clarification.

er...on my clarification.

see? toldja I weren't no expert.

:)

38. at the Nauvoo IL museum

the LDS church has an info center on one side, the Reformed on the other.......each has a map of the houses, etc,......neither one has the info center of the other church on it's map

BTW, the museum is very well done and quite fascinating

one of the gun inventors, Remington??, was a Mormon and his workshop is on the museum map

9. Culling the herd

This has to be on the Darwin Awards finals list. Dumber than dirt - no loss to anyone.

[LoKnLoD]

14. Well it is sad

He was just 21, and these Mormon kids here in Utah have their religion shoved down their throat from such a young age. Probaly thought he was doing the right thing and would give testament at church and get brownie points from his bishop.

[TahitiNut]

10. Just another drop of chlorine in the gene pool.

:shrug: My sympathies to his parents - who probably should've seen it coming.

[niyad]

11. agreed, definite darwin award winner. one less mormon in the gene pool

[Dogmudgeon]

15. Ah, hipster Social Darwinism is on the scene!

And not a moment too soon -- there's another dead person to laugh at.

So is it a "BWA-ha" or a "MU-ha" or a "MWA-ha" or a "BU-ha" this time? And where's this :rofl: little guy been hiding? In the Skep forum?

You know, a lefty activist burned himself to death last night in Brazil to protest an alcohol processing plant. Where's the volunteer Darwin Awards flacks when you need them?

Just keep evoking Darwin -- the GOP does (except when it comes to evolutionary theory). Pretty soon, we'll have a bipartisan Social Darwinist Cacchinocracy.

--p!
Cacchinocracy - Government by Ridicule

28. Francisco Anselmo de Barros was 65, and was well past prime...

...reproductive age when he died, so he is by definition not Darwin Award material. This young LDS gentleman, on the other hand, effectively culled his own genetic legacy to prove a useless point. He was probably a virgin, for crying out loud.

[Chiyo-chichi]

16. his brothers?

Tyler Poulson was riding with his brothers last night when he became offended by one of them using profanity. Poulson, who recently returned from an LDS mission, threatened to get out of the truck if he continued. One of the men, not thinking he would, told Poulson to.

Uhhh... these were his brothers cursing and telling him to jump?

[Jackpine Radical]

17. One down....

[yellowcanine]

18. Damn, I thought from the title that Sean Hannity had jumped out of a

moving car. Some DUers refer to him as Insanity. Oh well.

[durablend]

20. I got a chuckle from that too

Though that he was kidnapped by a rogue liberal and after having been cursed out, decided "Fuck this--I'm OUTTA HERE" and offed himself.

Oh well...

[Wilber_Stool]

19. Maybe they should teach

physics in church.

[mattclearing]

25. Good one. n/t

[Bouncy Ball]

22. I've got to wonder about anyone who was taught to be SO

afraid of WORDS that they would leap from a moving vehicle because of them.

:wtf:

[Don Claybrook]

23. When I was 21, I was very moody

I remember hearing a song on a tape that made me feel depressed. I threw the tape out the window. Before it hit the pavement, and in the 15 or so ensuing years, I've thought it was a childish, melodramatic thing to do. But now, I feel a new sense of maturity, since I chose to throw a tape, and not my body, out of the car.

By the way, has anyone else conjured an image of the 2 surviving brothers? Do you remember the two brothers from Utah in the movie Ocean's Eleven?

[oregonindy]

24. If only we could get all the wackos to do this

[porphyrian]

27. Obviously he didn't know how to land.

They were only going about 35 mph. Unless he hit something hard and stationary, he should've been able to survive that. Tuck and roll, kids.

[yellowcanine]

29. The road is quite hard and quite stationary. You are being funny, right?

ONLY 35 mph? Well then...

[porphyrian]

30. Only a little.

If he knew how to land, he would probably be alive today, though probably in the hospital. He wasn't going 35 mph straight into the ground, he was going 35 mph parallel to the ground. People on motorcycles have survived laying down their bikes at higher speeds than that. It's all how you land.

[yellowcanine]

33. He was parallel to the ground for about 1 second, Hardly enough time

for air resistance to slow him down any. I think your physics is a little off. This would not be much like laying down a motorcycle. It would be more like being catapaulted over the handlebars of a motorcycle. You are not going to have time to "tuck and roll", I don't care how good you are at it.

[porphyrian]

34. It depends on how he left the truck, but that's neither here nor there.

The idiot's still dead because he couldn't stand to hear profanity.

[vogonity]

31. Were there any other witnesses?

I am willing to accept this story at face value, However; has anyone considered the possibility that we may not have a complete story of what happened from the other passengers in the car?

[Chiyo-chichi]

32. his brothers, no less!

It was one of his brothers who was cursing and one of his brothers who told him to go ahead and jump.

[vogonity]

35. I didn't see that.

Wow, his brothers. Like I said, I more or less believe the story but sometimes I just gets wonderin'

[Chiyo-chichi]

36. well, it said he was "riding with his brothers"

There could have been other passengers who were not his brothers, I guess. But it was a truck, right?

[Chiyo-chichi]

37. Salt Lake Tribune reported it...

http://www.sltrib.com/search/ci_3211051

They didn't report the profanity angle, but there is not much detail.

"A South Jordan man who died Friday night when he jumped from a moving vehicle was identified as Tyler Paulson, 21. Police said Paulson was a passenger in the rear seat of a Dodge 4-door pickup. He opened the door and jumped from the truck near 10800 S. 1300 West about 6:15 p.m., said Deputy Chief Chris Evans. The truck was going about 35 mph. Paulson suffered severe head injuries. He was pronounced dead at Jordan Valley Hospital."
