Chris sent me this little gem about some real intellectuals out in Arkansas. How fitting is this?

Father and Son Drown in Eudora

Eudora - A man and his son drowned Monday night after the son tried to drown their dog. It happened near the city of Eudora, just outside of city limits. Police say the son fell into a pit full of water inside an old cotton gin and the father went in after him.

Police say the son and his cousin were trying to drown their pit bull, because the dog was old and wouldn't fight anymore. Before drowning the dog, the son fell in and the cousin ran for help.

18-year-old Eugene Weston Junior and his cousin planned to drown their pit bull in an old abandoned cotton gin across the street from their home.

The gin hadn't been used in more than 30 years and inside the pit was a thick combination of water, oil, diesel fuel, hydraulic fluid, and dirt. As the son looked into the eight to ten foot pit, he slipped and fell in.

The cousin ran for help and called 9-1-1. That's when the father, 42-year-old Eugene Weston Senior, jumped into the pit after his son.

Police say the old gin has been pumped dry and is now covered up. They plan to fill it in with dirt to prevent this kind of accident in the future.

The pit bull is still alive and unharmed.

Morons in Arkansas? No way!

Guess they never heard of a vet. Of course if they were using the pit bull for fighting, they most likely had it coming anyway.

I am sure we will see these guys listed in the yearly Darwin Awards.

Speaking of the Darwin Awards. While browsing in the Discovery Store this weekend, I saw two books about the Darwin Awards. Chock full of the winners and runner-ups for the the 'prestigious' award.

Damn funny stuff. Just what you need in case your Internet connection goes out during a snow storm.

Not to mention full of indirect tips on what NOT to do.
