Near Miss Darwin Award

Man bitten after putting rattler in his mouth

A normal person sees a rattlesnake and gives it a wide berth. A redneck, picks it up, keeps it, and then three weeks later tries to french kiss it. Sounds crazy right? Well Matt Wilkinson from Portland, Oregon, nearly died after doing just that. OK, so he wasn't actually trying to kiss it, but when you're putting a live rattle snake in your mouth, it doesn't really matter what your reasoning is.
"You can assume alcohol was involved," he said. Actually, not just beer. It was something he called a "mixture of stupid stuff."

Even though Mr. Wilkinson survived this stunt, I think it's safe to say the guy won't live to a ripe old age. I only hope nature takes it's toll on him before he has a chance to reproduce.
