How about some idiot who got bumped off for spamming a newsgroup.
Your threat is duly noted and reported to the authorities.

Rules
So how are the Darwin Awards actually determined?
Nominees significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves
from the human race in an obviously stupid way. They are self-selected
examples of the dangers inherent in a lack of common sense, and all
human races, cultures, and socioeconomic groups are eligible to
compete. Actual winners must meet the following criteria:
Reproduction
Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile.
Excellence
Astounding misapplication of judgment.
Self-Selection
Cause one's own demise.
Maturity
Capable of sound judgment.
Veracity
The event must be true.

Not a Darwin (but not safe either)
* Whizzing on an electric wire
* Smoking in an oxygen tent
* Being hit by a train or automobile
* Aerosol cans, etc., in the oven
* Climbing into zoo cages
* Falling off precipice while posing or ****ing
* Carbon monoxide poisoning
* Most autoerotic deaths
* all too common!
Killing others: The death of innocent bystanders absolutely rules out
a Darwin Award. We don't applaud those who take others out of the gene
pool, even if they share some DNA in common. Injuring bystanders is
also frowned upon.- Hide quoted text -
