“Darwin Awards IV: Intelligent Design” Audio Book
May 10, 2008
“…there are some things that can beat smartness and foresight. Awkwardness and stupidity can. The best swordsman in the world doesn’t need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn’t do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn’t prepared for him.” –Mark Twain
Another book in the Darwin Awards series honoring those who continue to improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it in a sublimely idiotic fashion!
The stupidity of others is always amusing, and the Darwin Awards celebrate excellence in stupidity. This latest compilation of true tales of idiocy is spectacular.
It avoids being “more of the same” by virtue of the astounding variety of ways people find to remove themselves from the gene pool. Overall, well worth the money.
Made into a motion picture in 2006, starring Winona Ryder and Joseph Fiennes!

Evolution takes another giant step forward with the third edition of the New York Times bestselling phenomenon.
One of the human race’s most popular humor series returns with a brand-new collection of hilariously macabre mishaps and misadventures. Honoring those who improve our gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves from it, The Darwin Awards III shows once more how uncommon common sense still is.
From the sheriff who unintentionally shot himself twice, to the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw; from a farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag, to the man crushed by the branch he’d just severed; The Darwin Awards III proves again that when it comes to stupidity, we are the most advanced species on the planet.

If you’re tickled by the spectacle of a man who electrocuted fish with household current, then waded in to harvest his catch without removing the wire, this bestseller will have you in stitches. These are true stories of those who yanked themselves out of the gene pool and therefore, supposedly, improved the species.
For mortally foolish acts, they win an award: The Darwin. The production is first-rate. Jason Harris is almost laughing himself as he reads; the musical interludes punctuate without intruding. I chortled, but couldn’t quite shake the suspicion that luck, more than genius, has kept me out of the running.
