Description
About the Book
Filled with more than 100 new tales of evolution in action, and complete with essential science and safety discussions, "The Darwin Awards 4" shows that when it comes to common sense, natural selection still has a long way to go.Book Synopsis
The hilarious New York Times bestselling phenomenon and the perfect funny gift! 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.Review Quotes
"The Darwin Awards is a riot to read. Deeply entertaining."--San Francisco Weekly
"Delightfully funny, The Darwin Awards, taken together, constitute a delicious sermon in support of common sense."--The Baltimore Sun
