Description

This compilation of The Darwin Awards books 4, 5 and 6 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!

REVIEWS
Publishers Weekly
"Jason Harris does an excellent job of reading each reported incident; basically, they sound like standup comedy."

San Francisco Weekly
"It's hard to say whether these stories are disturbing or reassuring-or both-but they're deeply entertaining nonetheless."
