«The Darwin Awards» is Wendy Northcutt's collection of black humour, published by Orion in paperback (286 pages, in English).
A collection of real cases of people who die from absurd decisions. With black humour and a light-hearted tone, Wendy Northcutt presents verified stories, honourable mentions and debunked urban legends, along with the rules each candidate must meet.
First instalment of the Darwin Awards series. The website DarwinAwards.com, from which the book originates, was created by the author in 1993.
For those who enjoy real anecdotes that show the limits of human stupidity.
The Darwin Awards are a rhetorical tongue-in-cheek honor that originated in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilized by their own actions.
