“A warning to all dimwits…One of the greatest pleasures of the collection is scanning the index, which runs from ‘A literal fountain of cess’ to ‘Yosemite National park’—a glittering cache of improbably causes of death.”

The Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it, showing us just how uncommon common sense can be! Meet the absentminded terrorist who opens a mail bomb returned to him for insufficient postage. Marvel at the thief who steals electrical wires before shutting off the current. Gape at the would-be pilot who flies his lawn chair suspended from helium balloons into air-traffic lanes. These tales of trial and awe-inspiring error illustrate the ongoing saga of survival of the fittest in all its selective glory! The author has appeared in USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, the New York Daily News, Boston Herald, Publisher Weekly, BookPage and CNN.com.
