Tell that to the people who used to go over Niagara falls in a barrel. But these people are apparently dumb enough to not spend five minutes googling it before

Tell that to the people who used to go over Niagara falls in a barrel. But these people are apparently dumb enough to not spend five minutes googling it before putting their life on the line. And before you say they don't have access to the internet, almost everyone does even if it is through a friend or internet cafe - even in subsaharan Africa. Also, while politically incorrect to say, being dumb and being poor are strongly correlated. Things like education, educated parents, good nutrition etc are quite important to developing intelligence. I agree they're desperate, but they're also dumb. No matter how you slice it, these are Darwin award winners at their finest.
