Am I evil for loving Darwin?

HONOLULU – A Hawaii man was killed Friday after he was apparently impaled by the bill of a fish, officials said.

Witnesses at Honokohau Harbor in Kailua-Kona reported that a man in his 40s jumped from the pier in an apparent attempt to catch a billfish, said West Hawaii Acting Battalion Chief John Whitman of Hawaii County's fire department.

The fish was a swordfish about 3 feet long with a bill about 3 feet, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources said in a statement. It weighed about 40 pounds.

"All we know is next thing they know, the man is seen floating," said Whitman. Firefighters tried to resuscitate the man, who had a puncture wound to his right, upper torso. The man was taken to Kona Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Whitman said.

Hawaii County police identified the victim as 47-year-old Randy Llanes of Kailua-Kona.

IMO, you are not evil for loving Darwin. You are interesting for claiming this guy as one of your own however. If this guy is really one of yours, you might be evil.

Well the big question is, did he have offspring? Did he reproduce? If the answer is YES, then no Darwin. The Darwin awards are supposed to be reserved for people who die in spectacularly stupid fashion BEFORE they reproduce. Once they reproduce all bets are off. Those idiot genes have been passed on.

He was always helping Lucas. Hell of a dolphin for sure.

I wasn't specifically referring to those, but you bring up an interesting point. If we dial back the clock a few hundred years his death might have contributed to the death of his offspring. Sadly, now that is not the case. As far as awards go, I'll give him my own private Mulligan Trophy. My trophy is awarded to any person who is taken out during the exercise of a manly pursuit. For example if Vandy is ever taken out by a bear, he will be awarded a trophy.

Does that apply to this guy as well?

He's a personable sort. Friendly and likable. But yeah, anyone who thinks croc wrestling is a vocation isn't worthy of crocodile tears.
