The Darwin Awards: Evolution in Action [Paperback]

The hilarious New York Times bestselling phenomenon and the perfect funny gift! 

The Darwin Awards shares the stories of those human beings who improve the gene pool by removing themselves from it in a sublimely idiotic fashion.

Marvel at the thief who tries to steal live electrical wires. Gape at the lawnchair jockey who floats to a height of 16,000 feet suspended by helium balloons. And learn from the man who peers into a gasoline can using a cigarette lighter. All contend for Darwin Awards when their choices culminate in magnificent misadventures.

These tales of trial and awe-inspiring error-verified by the author and endorsed by website readers-illustrate the ongoing saga of survival of the fittest in all its selective glory.The Darwin Awardsvividly portrays the finest examples of evolution in action, and shows us just how uncommon common sense can be.

“The Darwin Awards is a riot to read. Deeply entertaining.”—San Francisco Weekly
 
Delightfully funny, The Darwin Awards, taken together, constitute a delicious sermon in support of common sense. —The Baltimore Sun
