Lovestruck Louis III 2018 Darwin Award Winner

Confirmed True by Darwin

On a fine autumn day in Saint-Denis, France, the king glimpsed a beautiful woman he needed to woo and pursue. On horseback he chased her! Clearly not seeing where he was headed, he whacked his royal skull on an innocent door lintel. The coup d'état, a fatal blow! His cranium fractured, King Louis III died to teach us an important life lesson.

Be careful!! When blindly following innate desires, the world can "crash down upon your head" in the space of one overzealous woo.
