Wow. Talk about rubbing salt into wounds

I feel your idea of 'Improving' the gene-pool is somewhat flawed.

It's not my theory, a pommie bloke by the name of Charles Robert Darwin came up with it a few years ago.

A Darwin Award is a tongue-in-cheek "honor" named after evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin. Awards have been given for people who "do a service to Humanity by removing themselves from the Gene pool", i.e., lose the ability to reproduce either by death or sterilization in a stupid fashion. According to Wendy Northcutt, author of the Darwin Award books: "The Awards honor people who ensure the long-term survival of the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool in a sublimely idiotic fashion."

FWIW, has anybody considered that rubbing salt into the wounds may have melted the ice, and allowed the keys to be recovered?

Just a thought.

"Akshay did not have any personal items on him." Does that mean still no keys

While it can be understandable from a business point of view, surely public relations go a long way??

Or maybe not these days.

Victim support helped them with the costs of a replacement rental car. How come THAT rental car company charged them? Why wasn't it free? As much as the first company dropped the pr ball big time, so did the second by not giving it for free, their resulting publicity would have been worth heaps, but they also charged.

I wonder if the tow company waived their fee to the rental company?

And I wonder if they got a refund from the airline company for the unused pair of seat in the plane...

and I wonder.....

I agree they should have comprehensive as you never know what would happen while you travel, unfortunately for most people they look at the cost and think that outweighs the risk.

Like drink-drivers decide to drive??

"Nah, it'll never happen to me..."

Yep that used to be called typicult kiwi attitude though, now it seems worldwide too.

Unlikely...if domestic then they have have taken the one click insurance.

Bottom line is these guys..like a drunk driver....walked past the line of safety so I have some sympathy with the hire guys although they should have backed off once they got on the front page...having said that we all have short memory's.

and stop wondering SD...

Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is a wee bit more subtle than your "Ha ha, he did something stupid, he deserved to die" rubbish.

For a start, natural selection isn't fair in any way, shape or form. It's an incredibly extravagant, wasteful process. All it means is that, in the long run, certain genotypes (sets of genes) will tend to cause an organism to survive and reproduce better than others and these genotypes will tend to predominate in a population. Note "in the long run" and "tend". The vast majority of organisms die because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Then there's the obvious irony of crowing about the Darwin Award on a biker site.

I didnt know lulz either, and after your advise I googled it.

This is what came up in urbandictionary.com: (defination 21)

Though common misspelling of the world lolz. Lulz also mean that you like the cock and that you have a birth defect that makes you testicle sack or more commonly known as ball sack connected directly to your butt hole , there for making you a faggot. The current Definition #1 for lulz is very incorrect and has been marcoed to the top of the list. believe what ever you want.
Example is a aim conversation.
User1: Yo wat up
User1: Have you seen my binders by any chance? I think I lost them.
User2: Lulz sux 4 u
User1: You just basically called your self a fag.
User1: And your ball sack is probably connect right to ur ass.
User2: I meant lolz, i kno how homosexual lulz is.

Couldn't you just post a 'coming out thread'? It would have saved all the googling.

Peace out ...
