Well…it’s not the dumbest thing I have ever heard, but it’s pretty funny—nonetheless.

Car Thief Nabbed After Answering Victim's Phone

(AP) SAN DIEGO, Calif. It's a call that a couple of suspected car thieves in San Diego should have never taken.

Police say a man dialed his own cell phone number hours after his car was stolen yesterday with the phone inside.
The person who picked up offered to sell him back his car and arranged to meet him later on in the day.
But the victim called police, who sent undercover officers to the meeting instead.

When 23-year-old Miguel Valverde and a 17-year old girl approached the detectives, the two were taken into custody .The keys to the stolen vehicle were recovered from one of the suspects, and the car was found parked just around the corner.

Darwinism would be if the thief stuck the phone in his pants pocket, and then went for a swim. If while the thief was swimming, the victim where to have called the phone and it electricuted his testicles and they later fell off, that would be Darwinian. This is just dumb.

No, actually by definition, to qualify for a Darwin award, the nominee has to die.

That's just silly. Elimination through sterilization should be sufficient, but since it's the rule, I'll fix it

Darwinism would be if the thief stuck the phone in his pants pocket, and then went for a swim. If while the thief was swimming, the victim where to have called the phone and it electrocuted his testicles and they later fell off and due to a gangrenous infection he later died, that would be Darwinian. This is just dumb.

I think the definition is that you have to remove yourself from the gene pool. Because the guy who put a .22 bullet in as a temp. fuse for his truck and then it shot him in the balls won (or came really close) one year.
