Haha, slightly OT, but I heard once - quite possibly on QI - about the Darwin Awards, about people who are honoured for dying in such a stupid way that they are "taking themselves out of the gene pool, improving the human race."

Oh, there's a website that puts it much better than me.
"A Chronicle of Enterprising Demises
Honoring those who improve the species...by
accidentally removing themselves from it! "

Perhaps it is time to make give the emergency services a new number as it seems all & sundry use 999 for any perceived emergency.

Then there was the man who called them because the pizza restaurant put mushrooms on his pizza ...and the priest who complained WH Smith in Manchester wouldn't let him use the loo ...I did a lazy journo piece in the end but it's not SCD related so not on the thread here, but if you want to read it:
