This guy tried to hold up a Greenfield, Wisconsin gun store---with a knife. He survived through no fault of his own.
Authority has every reason to fear the skeptic, for authority can rarely survive in the face of doubt.

Glorious. Crime ought to be dangerous. The only mistake the storekeeper made was in not aiming for the guy's head. Now I'll be the robber sues the storekeeper...
And Newton said, "y'= lim h->0 of [f(x+h)-f(x)]/[(x+h)-x], thus, Calculus was born, and Newton saw that it was good. |

Well he is likely to survive, so no award for him, but there is always next time.
But even if he had managed to remove himself from the gene-pool, this guy had nothing on this classic Darwin-Award winner:

Wrong Time, Wrong Place
1990 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
3 February 1990, Washington
A man tried to commit a robbery in Renton, WA. This was probably his first attempt, as suggested by the fact that he had no previous record of violent crime, and by his terminally stupid choices as listed below:
1. The target was H&J Leather & Firearms, a gun shop.
2. The shop was full of customers, in a state where a substantial portion of the adult population is licensed to carry concealed handguns in public places.
3. To enter the shop, he had to step around a marked Police patrol car parked at the front door.
4. An officer in uniform was standing next to the counter, having coffee before reporting to duty.
Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup and fired a few wild shots. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, removing him from the gene pool. Several other customers also drew their guns, but didn't fire. No one else was hurt
