I had to take time out of my busy day to nominate this for a darwin award:
A student of Carleton University, in Ottawa, was participating in a long-distance spitting contest with some friends when he tragically lost his life. While taking a running start to gain momentum to beat his friends, he fell off an 11th story balcony.
Ameer Jinah, 20 years old, went over the balcony railing from his 11th story apartment when his running start caused him to follow his spit. The civil engineering student was celebrating his 20th birthday with a dozen friends when the incident occurred.
Ottawa police ruled the death accidental, though they cite that the students were drinking alcohol during the party.
It's tragic, but dear lord, what a stupid way to die.
ding ding ding! we have a winner!

He wasn’t a tool he was an amazing person. Tragedy can strike in any number of ways and I just hope that you won’t have to suffer through the loss of a friend.
