Darwin Awards VI By:Wendy Northcutt Published on 2010-10-20 by Penguin UK (The countdown has begun . . . ) What distinguishes humans from baser animals is our higher intelligence. This is because most humans know to think twice before headbutting a coconut or biting down on a live wire. Intelligent individuals generally know not to use a mattress pad as a floatation device, or to kitesurf in a hurricane. Darwin Award winners, however, lack this basic common sense. Named for the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards honour those who help natural selection by taking a swan dive into the shallow end of the gene pool. From attaching a five-horsepower engine to a barstool, to hammering a metal hook into an explosive device, to using a Taser to treat a snake bite, The Darwin Awards: Countdown to Extinction show that the countdown (to human extinction) is well underway and we won't exit this mortal coil without one last laugh. Illustrated and featuring all-new tales of the marvellously m...

The Darwin Awards 4 By:Wendy Northcutt,Christopher M. Kelly Published on 2006-10-24 by Penguin The hilarious New York Times bestselling phenomenon—more than 1.5 million copies sold! The Darwin Awards series is the alpha chimp of humorous human mishaps. Despite being an international bestseller and inspiring the movie The Darwin Awards, these hilarious, cautionary chronicles have failed to stop another generation of Darwin Award winners from steering motorcycles with their feet, heating lava lamps on stoves, using liquid soap as brake fluid, and drowning themselves in the kitchen sink. Filled with more than 100 new tales of evolution in action, plus science essays and a parody research paper supporting Intelligent Design, The Darwin Awards 4 shows that when it comes to common sense, natural selection still has a long, long way to go. This Book was ranked at 29 by Google Books for keyword awards. Book ID of The Darwin Awards 4's Books is svwKJhYFOl8C, Book which was written byWendy...
