Why would someone blindly navigate by GPS in a marked channel and run on

It doesn't sound like the GPS was even slightly at fault in this case.

The kids today have a phrase called "owned". If you screw up a
situation entirely on your own, you are "owned". It may come out of
skateboard culture, where combining physics with cement offers plenty
of these type of opportunities.

Also of late, we have the concept of "The Darwin Awards", the winning
of which involves stupid behaviour that subtracts one from the gene
pool.

I propose, therefore, a new coinage of "Darwowned", which is a shout
one can give when one hears of the foolish meeting the deadly, such as
entering a harbour at speed, at night, via GPS.

I hope the "eye injury" was to the scrotum.

not skateboarding but cracker culture
you're "owned" when someone gets root or administrator-level access to
your computer...usually without your knowledge...and begins to use your
machine for purposes not of your choosing

(and people wonder why smart people don't use Windows computers)

LOL. I thought it came out of the video game culture. You're "owned"
when someone beats you three time in a row (and consistantly kicks
your behind).
