This is a question Darwin Awards

Bluffboy says: My mate cheated death and burned his eyebrows off looking down the barrel of a potato gun. Tell us about your brushes with the Grim Reaper through stupidity.

not an actual Darwin award...
but it is connected to Darwin... and stupidity

A guy that works in our warehouse was yesterday telling me that he owns four 1st edition books by Charles Darwin, (yes FOUR!) including a 1st edition of Origin of Species which is SIGNED BY DARWIN HIMSELF!!!

yeah, all right mate, sure you have

As David Attenborough said in his recent documentary on Darwin, a 1st edition Origin of Species is worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, a signed one would be almost priceless.

And this guy aparently has four of 'em. Yet he is still pushing pallets around in a warehouse.

Ask to borrow one.
If it turns out he's telling the truth, nick it. I'll "fence" it.

Then pay off my mortgage with my cut.
