Over 1.5 million copies sold in this New York Times bestselling humor series
With over 1.5 million copies sold, the Darwin Awards series is the alpha chimp of humorous human mishaps. Despite being an international bestseller, and inspiring a movie--The Darwin Awards--these 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.
WEND:Y NORTHCUTT is a graduate of UC Berkeley with a degree in molecular biology. The New York Times bestselling author began compiling the Darwin Awards in 1993. With seven hundred tales of misadventure, her award-winning website www.DarwinAwards.com is one of the most popular destinations on the Internet.
CHRISTOPHER M. KELLY is a graduate of Stanford University and the author of the lovable favorite, It's Okay to Be Happy.
