My nomination for the Darwin awards.

Two men entered the zoo without authorization at about 1 a.m. on Monday and scaled the outer perimeter safety fence of the tiger enclosure, the Calgary Zoo said in a media statement.

The men did not enter the tiger exhibit but one of the individuals did approach its fencing and came "into contact with one of the tigers and sustained significant injuries to his arms," the zoo said.

2. Not eligible unless they at least lost their testicles.

They may be eligible for an honorary Darwin award, but unless they removed themselves from the gene pool they can't get the real thing.

5. We had another in Juneau Alaska over the weekend

Police say they got the call from an occupant of a Lemon Creek area apartment at about 2:20 Friday afternoon.

According to police, the incident began with a group of adults planning to go shooting at a gun range.

Witnesses told police that four adults and an infant were in an apartment when the victim began handling one of the rifles.

Another adult was concerned about the infant and asked him to be careful because the gun may be loaded.

The man joked that there was one way to find out if it was loaded and, at that point, he reportedly put the barrel of the 22 caliber rifle in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

When police arrived, Edge was unresponsive.

He was rushed to the hospital and later medevaced to Seattle.

It was reported this morning he had died.
