The Darwin Awards: Honoring those who improve the species...by accidentally removing themselves from it!
The following was a 1997 Honorable Mention Award. Even thought the recipient did not remove her genes from the gene pool in this incident, likely she has done so by now!
(1997, Canada) A woman in Canada called the police with a complaint that she had been burnt in a drug deal. She claimed that a man had sold her a rock of crack cocaine, but when she brought it home, it "looked like baking powder." The police dispatched a narcotics agent to her house, who tested the rock and verified that, despite its appearance, it was indeed cocaine. The woman was promptly arrested for drug possession. The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) are encouraging anyone who thinks they may have been fooled into buying fake drugs to come forward.
