Have you ever done something on here so incredibly dumb that you give yourself a Darwin Award?

I just did... I was just over in Business & Finance doing my daily voting and ran across a Nigerian 419 Scam. You know, one of those " Hello Sir, I'm Dr Kweeme MMMMbasasasai of the King's Finance Ministry and I have 35 million dollars I want to move to the US, but must do it with utter discretion" emails. I was just moving to hit the REPORT button, and instead of reporting I hit the VOTE THIS BEST ANSWER button!! There are so few people that vote over there, and my single vote might just earn that scam BEST ANSWER!! LOLOLOLOL... What is the biggest bone-headed move you have made on here that after you think about it, that you say to yourself... " Smart move there Sherlock!"?????? Here's mine:: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070804103642AAb5dbz&r=w&pa=AptqD2bwHTHf5ueOZqE.ufI5y7ZsTa7cgSALd.ZT0uVUbw--&paid=voted I just saw one even crazier.. Same type 419 lending scam... done to an asker who says she's 11 yrs old and needs to save for a cell phone.... Here's the cell phone one.... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqmJkVAhZ6R1iuQSdiIu9Sjsy6IX?qid=20070805122331AA2V68m&show=7#profile-info-Th1Vdpaeaa

  1. I didn't read it all but it sounds funny
  2. Those Darwin Awards are hilarious!!! Do you believe the stories are true???? No-one can be that dumb,not even you.lol
  3. On my very first question I spelled immigrants wrong. This was before they had Spell Check for questions. I was typing fast and eating and talking and I didn't check and people kept telling me how stupid I was! I ended up deleting the question.... I-M-M-I-G-R-A-N-T-S, there! P.S., don't worry, I voted for another REAL answer, so maybe it's even!
  4. I looked at a menu from a favorite Chinese restaurant and dialed the number on it. Busy. Waited a minute and dialed again. Still busy. Several more tries and no luck. Husband checked to see if I was dialing the right number and all along I'd been dialing my own home phone number. Dee Dee Dee!
