Can you die from stupidity

Since time immemorial, people have died from stupidity. Watch any news broadcast showing tourists stepping over protective railings at a zoo to get a closer photo of the nice Bengal Tiger, or youthful (and occasionally geriatric) naked sky-divers hurling themselves out of aeroplanes. Or consider the young couple who've left their two-year-old toddler alone in a room with their new pet Pit Bull Terrier,

With the above in mind, the answer becomes axiomatic.

The problem with the gene pool is that it doesn't come with a lifeguard.
