survival of the fittest... died out.

I have a mentor in life, a hero, a god (other than Darth Vader), his name is Charles Darwin, the man who coined the term 'Survival of the Fittest', which for anyone who was brought up in a very small, windowless box, would understand that basically if you aren't well enough adapted for the environment you live in, you won't breed and have babies and pass on your genetics to the next generation. (wow, one sentence and I can already see at least 2 Star Wars/Trek references and more to come, with a prevailing wind heading in the direction of TARDIS).

To the point of todays blog, I shall arrive at hastily for I am simply going to state this and move on.
With the general updating and evolution of the technological era that we are living in, the stupidity of people has been compensated for in such a way that idiots are now the most common form of human. I now rename them, Homo Stultior/Bardus (Human Idiot/Stupid) for we do not deserve the name Sapien any longer - Google tells me that sapien is Latin for wisdom..uh huh.

The reason for todays rant is simple.... I drive a van, not a massive van but a medium sized Ford Transit equivalent. When my van is coming toward you at 30mph you do not stand in the middle of the road hoping I will move around you, nor am I going to slow down, nor am I going to stop and let you cross when it would in fact be more dangerous for me to do so due to the ice on the road and the fact that traffic is moving swiftly. You are on MY road, there is a PEDESTRIAN CROSSING purposefully built for you 100yards down the road.

No, the idiot chose to stand in front of my van. In the middle of the road. On a dual carriageway.
And then tried to walk in front of me.
My response - nothing
Tries to carry on walking
My response - nothing
Nearly walks in front of car in next lane over
My response - laughter

*Sigh*, some people do not really deserve the luck that is granted to them. Then again, I can not say I am one who does not deserve what I get, I too do stupid shit on a frequent basis, although not usually involving traffic, thats just mortally stupid.
I tried to go running after suffering anaphalatic shock, eventually I settled for 5hours shopping on an empty stomach and no painkillers/steroids.... I went missing from a ward for 4 hours after major surgery because I was bored (ironically, I found the morgue and turned back), I went swimming with a chest infection, I got the flu/bronchitis and went to the beach in a snowstorm........ my stupidity tends to run to the theme of 'I'm sick, lets run it off'.
Hell, if I am well enough to be standing up, I am well enough to be doing something. Man-flu... who bothers?!

So, this weeks calender includes - full allergy testing, 30 lengths of the local swimming pool, job-center, kill a few idiots, cleaning, more doctors, die of snow exhaustion (the apparent death of a normal human being through overhearing the same piece of news via social media that it is snowing and we are all going to die). On that note, snow.... should be killing off plenty of idiotic people who can not care for themselves - babies, small children and the elderly not included

The voices and I agree that Mr Charles Darwin, may you rest in peace, your survival of the fittest theory has died.
