Today's award goes posthumously to two Polish hitchhikers. I don't normally make posthumous awards, but they were so monumentally stupid that I didn't really have much choice! (A tip o' the hat to Christina for forwarding the link to me.)
Two hitchhikers in Seelow, Germany, attempting to secure a ride by lying down in the road, were killed when a vehicle ran them over, a third hitchhiker said.
. . .
The surviving camper said the victims decided a car would stop if they were to lie down in the middle of the road. He admitted to Poland's TVN television network the three had been drinking.
. . .
There was no word on whether the driver would be charged.
There's more at the link.
So now a driver has to live with the deaths of two doofi on his conscience, despite the fact he/she couldn't possibly have anticipated they'd be so stupid, and he/she may even face charges. I feel a damn sight more sorry for the driver than I do for the deceased hitchhikers!

I don't know how they would have said it in Polish but I suspect that they yelled "hey watch this".
Polaks drinking??
I find that dificult to believe.
