The Darwin Awards by Wendy Northcutt
The hilarious New York Times bestselling phenomenon--more than 1.5 million copies sold The Darwin Awards series is the alpha chimp of humorous human mishaps. Despite being an international bestseller and inspiring the movie The Darwin Awards, these hilarious, cautionary chronicles have failed to stop another generation of Darwin Award winners from steering motorcycles with their feet, heating lava lamps on stoves, using liquid soap as brake fluid, and drowning themselves in the kitchen sink. Filled with more than 100 new tales of evolution in action, plus science essays and a parody research paper supporting Intelligent Design, The Darwin Awards 4 shows that when it comes to common sense, natural selection still has a long, long way to go.Wendy Northcutt, a molecular biology graduate of UC Berkeley, began collecting the stories that make up the Darwin Awards in 1993. Her award-winning humor website, www.DarwinAwards.com, is one of the most visited on the Internet. USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, and NPR's All Things Considered have all featured the Darwin Awards. Wendy is the author of The Darwin Awards: Evolution in Action, The Darwin Awards 2: Unnatural Selection, The Darwin Awards 3: Survival of the Fittest, The Darwin Awards 4: Intelligent Design, The Darwin Awards: Next Evolution, and The Darwin Awards: Countdown to Extinction, all of which have become international bestsellers.
