DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Balloon priest wins Darwin Award for stupidity Friday, January 2, 2009 A daredevil Catholic priest who was killed after floating out to sea suspended by 1,000 helium-filled party balloons has been honoured for his idiocy. Reverend Adelir Antonio di Carli had been trying to break a record for the longest time in-flight with party balloons when he disappeared. Three months later his body was discovered off the south-eastern coast of Brazil. But now he has won the 2008 Darwin Awards which commemorates people who die in a stupid fashion. Rev di Carli planned to use the money raised in his attempt to break the 19-hour record to fund a "spiritual" rest-stop for truckers in Paranagua, home to Brazil's largest grain port.
