Official synopsis Publisher
An all-new collection of gene-pool belly flops
Most people don’t need a PhD to know that doing chin-ups off the edge of a seventh-floor balcony is a recipe for disaster. Or that it’s a bad idea to put a paintball gun in your mouth and pull the trigger. Or to think twice before joyriding in a shopping cart strapped to a four-wheel drive. Darwin Award winners lack this basic sound judgement.
Named for Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, The Darwin Awards celebrates those who have dived headfirst into the shallow end of the gene pool. From offering a bear a beer to self-testing a Taser to jumping a drawbridge on a bike, The Darwin Awards V- Next Evolution honours these macabre and entertaining feats of hapless misjudgement.
Fully illustrated with over a hundred new awe-inspiring tales, including science essays from guest writers and answers to FAQs about evolution in action, The Darwin Awards V- Next Evolution demonstrates how uncommon common sense still is.
