One up on "sledgehammer to crack a nut", we now have "40mm shell to squash an insect".

Taken from the Darwin Awards website:

Of necessity, this honor is generally bestowed posthumously.

You can also get a Darwin award if render yourself infertile such as the shoplifter who put a live lobster in his pants. He did not die but he did remove himself from the genepool hence winning a darwin award.
