Uh, oh. New Zealand has produced another candidate for a Darwin Award.
These awards are named in honour of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, and commemorate those who improve the human gene pool by removing themselves from it.
In this case, we have the father of a 2-year-old girl who was electrocuted after climbing a power pylon.
The Herald on Sunday says Kheirrson Pukeroa fell the height of three storeys after touching an 11,000 volt line in Pokeno, south of Auckland, on March 13.
Exactly why he should clamber up a power pylon is not altogether clear.
