A daredevil Catholic priest who was killed after floating out to sea suspended by 1,000 helium-filled party balloons has been honoured for his idiocy.
Reverend Adelir Antonio di Carli had been trying to break a record for the longest time in-flight with party balloons when he disappeared.
Three months later his body was discovered off the south-eastern coast of Brazil.
But now he has won the 2008 Darwin Awards which commemorates people who die in a stupid fashion.
Well done. Your parishioners must be so proud.

Favorite This!
I wonder if he found god
I’m not sure even god would claim him. You can’t breathe w/out oxygen above 10,000 feet moron!
people have climbed Mt McKinley and Mt Everest without oxygen. you must be from the east coast- where they call hills mountains…
@storminator
Those who climb above 10,000 w/out oxygen must acclimate over time. If you’re gonna just fly up above 10,000 feet in a matter of minutes, you’ll need supplemental oxygen.
hope you’re name in the guiness world record & talk show was worth YOUR LIFE, too bad he cannot redeem it now…
