<p><strong>The hilarious <em>New York Times</em> bestselling phenomenon and the perfect funny gift!</strong></p> <p><strong>The Darwin Awards </strong>shares the stories of those human beings who improve the gene pool by removing themselves from it in a sublimely idiotic fashion.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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. <strong>The Darwin Awards</strong> vividly portrays the finest examples of evolution in action, and shows us just how uncommon common sense can be.</p>
