The alligator was just defending itself. The last thing I would call this is an "attack".
KMOV said: A Missouri man is dead after he was attacked by an alligator in southwest Texas Friday. Tommie Woodward, 28, was heard mocking the alligator before jumping into the water. A sign was posted by the marina where the fatal attack happened. "No Swimming. Alligator." The man jumped in anyway and his body was recovered around 4:30 a.m.
I thought everyone knew to throw a stick into the water for a dog to retrieve if you aren't sure if alligators might be present in the area.

I thought for sure this thread was going to be about this genius when I clicked on it. 22 years old, gets drunk, and tries to light a mortar off of his head. 
It looks like 2015 will be a tough year for the Awards committee.
Speaking of fireworks and being smart...

Best part: I'm pretty sure the Giants placed the Franchise Tag on him for next season, and he has yet to sign his tender, making him basically unemployed right now. Smart move!
In reply to SilverFleet:
He is a 2 time pro bowler and if the Giants don't sign he is an unrestricted free agent. He has a boo boo on his hand. He will be playing football in 2015.
I'm waiting for the death of an aligater that was heard mocking a firewirks mortar.
so.. half way through the year and already it is hard to pick who the real winner will be. This does not bode well

We had two to add to the list of Darwin.
Unfortunately both probably reproduced before hand.

Injuring himself with gunpowder? He's Giants material alright.
The predictable moment a man shoots himself in the hand when trying to get his gun’s laser-sight working

This line is genius:

I love how it segues directly from "the man jumped in anyway" to "and his body was recovered..." in a completely matter-of-fact manner. Whoever wrote that bit deserves a Pulitzer.
I realize this is almost a year old now... but surely they meant southeast Texas? Somehow I don't see a lot of alligators hanging out in the desert.
I thought this thread was back to talk about mr. lawnmower.

Or does it count if you live?
doesn't count... you have to remove yourself from the genepool.. but is there a loophole for completely emasculating yourself so you cannot reproduce?
