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.

THE DARWIN AWARDS By WENDY NORTHCUTT Takes A Vivid Look Into The Ingelligence Of The Human Animal. The Book Reveals That Many Of Us Don't Fall Short From The Glory Of Winning The Darwin Awards - Whether In Calm Situations, Stress Or A Crises, Because The Human Being Only Uses 10% Of His/Her Brain Power (According To Scientists).
THE DARWIN AWARDS?
Charles Darwin apparently had several theories on the existence of human life. The most famous of his theories is his Theory on Evolution. Another one of his apparent theories (paraphrased) is that Stupidity Is Geneticly Inherited - Stupid People Will Either Remove Themselves From The Human Race, Or From The Gene Pool By A Simple Or Complex Act/Duty/Resonsibility/Task - Their Own Single-Handed And/Or Under-Handed Mission - Will Cause Them To Perish At Their Own Perils.
And for such a Great Performance they Win an Award in their Absence - THE DARWIN AWARDS - is presented in book form.
THE DARWIN AWARDS By WENDY NORTHCUTT is a book on a collective of true stories from around the world that have been verified to have had 'Grave' consequences (pardon the pun) on individual humans. The identities are hidden of course (I assume to savour the family and friends from the pain and hardship of ridicule).
You might recognise yourself in this book with one significant difference - you are lucky to be alive.
THE DARWIN AWARDS By WENDY NORTHCUTT comes as a series of books (1-5 so far).
The chapters are entitled and made up of subjects that we should all be familiar with:
Eg: Animals, Gender Issues, Technology, Water - to name but a few.
There is something humourous there for everyone - whatever the age group, genre, or beliefs you have or come from.
THE DARWIN AWARDS By WENDY NORTHCUTT should come with a government 'health & safety' warning stamped and embossed - 'Don't Let Us Read About You In The Next Edition Of "The Darwin Awards"'.
Thank You!

Apparently, Wendy Northcutt ran short of material so she decided to make a new cover and sell the book as new. Unfortunate as I was a fan.
