I don't think I have any mental deficiency, but I've certainly done things that almost got me a Darwin Award.   I think 
"momentary lack of reason" better describes it.

Hmm.. for computer related ones? Good question.

The Darwin Awards are for those who remove themselves from the gene
pool in *spectacular* ways.  They disallow entrants for reasons of
mental disease or defect-- so failing to reproduce just because you're
a troll living in your parent's basement loses twice - it's
commonplace, not spectacular, and it usually isn't a result of a
conscious decision you made.


OTOH, don't you think someone who qualifies for a Darwin Award has
demonstrated a mental deficiency?
