| A man changing a flat tire choked to death on a bag of marijuana he had stuffed down his throat in an apparent attempt to hide it from police who stopped to help him, authorities said. Nickolas Sandoval, 24, died Wednesday. Officers were unaware at first Sandoval had drugs when they spotted him on the highway in Corinth, about 45 miles northeast of Fort Worth, said Corinth police Cpl. Frank Lott. "Officers went from ’Oh, hey, here is someone with a flat tire’ to ’Hey, this guy is choking,’" Lott told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Sandoval, of Ponder, was pronounced dead at a hospital. Cause of death: Pot kills, well, the ziplock bag kills. |

| #9 Paranoia from the THC must have overcome this dude. Why was he assuming that the cops were going to perform a patdown on someone with a flattire? Probable cause? If he was worreid, he could have jammed the baggie down the front of his Jockey's and the only drug that would have come into the lawman's mind would have been Enzyte. |

| #8 Has anyone submitted Rachel Araflat for a Darwin? St. Pancake? Sorry, there's this "separation of ethics and common sense" thingie that keeps getting in the way (I would say "Church and State, but in RC's twisted mind, the two were one and the same - and not that of the US!)... |

| #5 Front runner for the Darwin award for 2003. Somebody needs to send it in. (The Darwin award is given yearly for the person who does the most for the human gene pool by removing him/herself from it in the most spectacularly stupid way). |

| #1 Question: Why is this dumbass changing a tire with the baggie ON HIS PERSON??? Why couldn't he leave it in the glove or somewhere out of sight while he got his hands dirty? This pinhead got exactly what he deserved. |
