This is a humorous page devoted to “The Darwin Awards”. Links to
information about Charles Darwin and his works are at the
bottom of
this page.
Darwin Awards are (by definition) granted posthumously. This
citation is bestowed upon (the remains of) that individual, who through
single-minded self-sacrifice, has done the most to remove undesirable
elements from the human gene pool.
Note: The versions of the Darwin Awards that you see here are ones
that circulate in the internet email. Many of them are
urban legends.
For a different list, check the listings on Yahoo’s
Darwin Awards
page which lists other Darwin Awards sites.
And here, for your delectation, are some
pages devoted to “stupid is as stupid does” candidates:
Swallowing a stone that’s too big is not too bright. Leaving your
remains around for one hundred million years for paleontologists to
figure out exactly how stupid you were deserves the prize.
