These are not the Stupidity Awards or Bad Death Awards, they directly involve the joke of genetic transference. I had one small comment for EScorpius. It is simply to elaborate on the evolutionary proccess. This may or may not be a common misconception of the evolutionary proccess. Most people might simply not 'see' the length of time evolution takes.
Evolution is the 'weeding' out of inefective genes over hundreds of thousands of years.
Evolution occurs for a species, not an indevidual or even a family. One of the jumpers fell to their death. If memory serves is was a young woman in her mid twenties. I know women who are in their 30's and still capable of contributing to the gene pool that are grandmothers. I believe she was 59 years old.
