Description
The Darwin Awards III 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 (NY) Daily News, Boston Herald, Publisher Weekly, BookPage and CNN.com.

what were they thinking? oh, yea, thy weren't!
LibraryThing member woollymammoth
Great if you like stories of people killing themselves in amusing ways. Would be less depressing if they weren't all true. A bit sick.
LibraryThing member Oreillynsf
Occasionally funny stories of stupid deaths.
