Future Darwin Award Recipient of the Day: A 23-year-old man was struck by a car in Clemson, South Carolina, while playing what local police say was a poorly-realized game of real-life Frogger. According to Chief Jimmy Dixon, the unnamed man yelled “go,” before jumping into a busy four-lane highway.

He was taken to a nearby hospital where his condition was listed as stable.

Angry Old Man of the Day: 68-year-old Russell Miller was arrested upon arrival at Boise Airport aboard a Southwest flight from Las Vegas. The charge? Decking a 15-year-old for refusing to turn off his iPhone prior to landing.

From KBOI-TV 2News:

Police say the teen was playing games and listening to music when the flight attendants announced their final approach to land and all powered devices needed to be turned off.

When the teenager didn’t respond to the intercom request, witnesses say the man got angry and then during the in-flight fight ultimately punched the teenager in the arm.

No word on the condition of the iPhone.
