Description

Named in honour of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, The Darwin Awards pay homage to those who improve our gene pool... by removing themselves from it.

Most of us know instinctively that igniting a blasting cap in our mouth is a recipe for disaster. Darwin Award winners do not. Whether it's thallium-snorting soldiers, head-butting motorcyclists, or hatchet-weilding men who mistake a body part for a chicken neck, there's no shortage of creative Darwin Award winners. There's a reason the instructions say 'Don't heat your Lava Lamp on a stove'. Only a Darwin Award winner would learn the fatal reason why.

Filled with 150 original tales of evolution in action, science, and other categories, The Darwin Awards V demonstrates that when it comes to common sense, natural selection still has a long way to go.
