I wrote about candidates for the 2014 Darwin Awards back in January<\/a>, following several deaths, near-deaths, and plain stupid behaviour during the bad weather. As of October, I think Peter Shaw – drug dealer<\/a> – has virtually clinched the trophy with nearly three months of the year left.<\/p>\n

Shaw, who comes from Nottingham (it doesn\u2019t say what part, but it would be a very short shortlist of likely estates), was photographed by a friend handling and preparing large quantities of drugs. The story also doesn\u2019t say how the police got hold of these photos, but they did find Shaw in possession. He was jailed for three years.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got to be from the lowest depths of the bottom sewer of society to have any sort of \u201cego\u201d on something like this. I think it might have had a lot more to do with Shaw\u2019s abnormal number of chromosomes, which would have been passed on to him by whoever and whatever his parents were. I mean, he can\u2019t even be a criminal properly!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great story, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
