The Darwin Awards, Vol. 5: Next Evolution: Chlorinating the Gene Pool

The Darwin Awards: Next Evolution commemorates 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!
