Product Description

Product Description
Just when you thought it was safe to leave the house...brand new DARWIN AWARDS, the bestselling humour series that honours those people who improve the human gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves from it in sublimely idiotic ways. The sheriff who inadvertently shot himself TWICE... the artist who strung a "shell" necklace of live ammunition... the parachute instructor who forgot his own parachute when he jumped out of the plane... the man who put his ear against the rail tracks to listen for the arrival of a train and was killed by an incoming express. With over 100 brand-new awards winners, this collection of magnificent misadventures and macabre mishaps is the must-have humour title for the holiday season and beyond.

5.0 out of 5 stars An accident waiting to happen...can be a great Darwin Award!, 18 Oct 2003
By R. Hollomon "bookkitten" (Reno, Nevada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've never laughed so hard -- I mean, who can't see an accident waiting to happen when you set up 19 deadly booby-traps in your home? What criminal "mastermind" thinks she'll get away with robbing the local bank in her 300-resident community? And the guy who tried to commit suicide by swallowing those little nitroglycerine heart pills, then slamming himself against a wall to make them explode... Do people this stupid really exist? Of course they do, you see them every day, weaving on the road and talking on a cell phone, slowly trying to count out change for their purchase, etc. The Darwin Awards are sweet revenge for all those little annoyances inflicted on us by idiots. Great book, I highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gift worthy, 25 Jul 2004
By A Customer
Its an 'ok' book. I wouldn't recommend you run out and buy yourself a copy, but its ok to give it as a gift... Paper quality is cheap, as are line sketches.
