Lobster vasectomy and honoring the ultimate in sheer idiocy - The Darwin Awards

Do it yourself, do yourself in:

Summer is the most blissful of seasons, when our favorite summertime activity — do it yourself stupidity — kicks into high gear. Meet Charles, 34, a Denver masonry contractor who created brick and mortar edifices. Charles was in construction. He had worked on houses, he had watched electricians install wiring.
