The last Darwin Award winners of 2007...
Getting a tattoo can be a painful proposition, but usually it's just the needle you have to worry about. Two men trying to trace a loaded .357-caliber Magnum as a pattern for a tattoo accidentally shot themselves, the Otero County Sheriff's Department said Monday.

Robert Glasser and Joey Acosta, both 22, were treated at a hospital in El Paso, Texas, after the shooting Thursday evening in nearby Chaparral.

Authorities said Glasser was struck in the hand when the gun accidentally went off, and Acosta was hit in the left arm. Their injuries were not life-threatening, authorities said.

2. Sadly, although they deserve it, they would not be eligible.

To win a Darwin Award you have to either kill yourself, or find some other way to remove yourself from the gene pool.

Now, if they managed to shoot themselves in the nuts, it would be a different story.
