The guy totally blew his chance to become a Darwin Award winner

Cruise Ship Jumper Rescued by Coast Guard After Bobbing 8 Hours in Atlantic Ocean
A 35-year-old man, apparently having a little too much fun aboard one of Carnival's "fun ships," miraculously survived nearly eight hours bobbing in the Atlantic Ocean early Friday after racing drunk through the ship, jumping over the balcony in his room and plunging 60 feet into the waves below, Coast Guard officials said.

What a coincidence; I had just left the Darwin Awards web site when I saw this story on Fox News. Remember the old Fickle Finger of Fate Award that they gave out on Laugh-in. This guy does something this stupid and lives; while other people get killed through no fault of their own. Lucky for him all the sharks must be off the coast of Florida attacking surfers.

They're lulling one of our own into complacency.
