Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."
Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

James 4:13-14

This might be the most expensive entry into the Darwin Awards Sweepstakes in history.

At age 62, he’s a bit late for a Darwin Award for two reasons:
(1) He has probably already procreated;
(2) He was probably unlikely to procreate again anyway.

Thanks, but I think you spoke too soon because even though it's only Monday, Post #15 should be the line of the week!

I was determined not to laugh at this, good man, tragic death. Then I read this and lost it:

Jimi was chairman of Hesco Bastion Ltd, the world leading manufacturer of protective barriers, and owner of Segway Inc.

The article said he was a multimillionaire. If I was a multimillionaire, I'd be a procreating fool WAY past my 60's!
