Only 46 days remaining and this appears to be the only double double Darwin Award winners for the year 2010.
Picture this: A young couple driving on Via Dutra, a major freeway in Brazil with loads of heavy traffic. At 6am under heavy fog the couple decided to park the car for "dating" according to the charming Google translation. And yes, they parked in the right lane of the freeway, not on the hard shoulder or at a petrol station and naturally, a huge cargo truck comes by and runs right over the car, immediately killing both inside during the act. Double Double Darwin! Two people making two obviously stupid decisions, and natural selection acts at the very moment the two are reproducing . . . Textbook Darwin Award.
