One idiot pushes a guy off a boat not realizing he can’t swim, then jumps in to save him. But then he’s in trouble. A third idiot jumps in. And then a fourth.
All four drown. They are now celebrities of a type – dead ones whose last acts were amazingly stupid.
Technically not. Like if you knew the four idiots who drowned, and you knew they didn’t swim and went out on small boats a lot and got drunk, you might pick them. But it would be like hotting a lottery – very long odds. The only reason they gained fame (of a kind) is that all four died at once.
Last year somebody picked all members of some cult. He expected them all to commit suicide, I think, because their leader was put in prison. They didn’t, but it was a very similar idea to what I’m asking about. And I think some or all of their names got in the papers in stories related to the criminal trial.
Yes, but … how would somebody pick 4 random schmoes who no one had ever heard of, just in case they managed to kill themselves in such a spectacularly stupid way that they ended up on CNN … where people would now have heard of them.
He obviously has some temporal difficulty with his time machine this year.
No, wait, he…damned confusing, I guess he is stuck where ever it broke down.
