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.

    One day, when I was editing the obituaries page of the Daily Telegraph, an injunction arrived from on high that we were to make a point of including the cause of death. As it happened, a candidate for the morgue of the morrow, a priapic jazzer, had h ... (read full critics)

    Very entertaining, but gruesome too. People are stupid and stupid people die in stupid ways, most likely because they did something stupid.

    Very entertaining, but gruesome too. People are stupid and stupid people die in stupid ways, most likely because they did something stupid.

    My absolute favorite story is on page 222. The one where the couple have sex on a mountain and get hit by lighting (through the ass).
    The girl is killed and the condom fuses the flesh of the two together, Ouch! The male throws up when he realizes he is stuck to a dead body by his penis. Then he passes out. He is rudely awakened by a bear eating the face of his girlfriend, then the bear bites his head and he struggles to fight the bear off, while being naked and stuck by his penis to his dead girlfriend.

    The bear goes away and the male drags himself and his unwanted cargo to the side of a road and collapses.

    The duo are discovered the next morning by a camp of Girl guides. Surprise!

    When his penis is finally un-fused to his girlfriend, witnesses said it resembled a piece of cauliflower.
    His gene pool fried up with the lightning.

    Hilarious camp stories for sure.

  • Redundancy.

    Why buy the book when you can see the same ones on the darwin awards website?
