Man cuts off his own head with a chainsaw

The Darwin Awards started in 1985, or thereabouts: smart-aleck citizens of what would one day be called the internet collecting stories of deaths so staggeringly stupid that the victims were said to have contributed to human evolution by 'self-selecting' themselves for extinction.

In 1996, the top award went to a Polish farmer, Krystof Azninski, who “staked a strong claim to being Europe’s most macho man by cutting off his own head.”

Mr Azninski and his friends, who had been drinking, decided to strip naked and engage in a contest of masculinity. They started by hitting each other over the head with frozen turnips, but when one man cut off his own foot with a chainsaw, Azninski felt compelled to respond.

One of the men was quoted as saying: "It's funny, because when he was young he put on his sister's underwear. But he died like a man."
