Darwin Awards

The Darwin Awards are not about the survival of the fittest but the non-survival of the non-fittest. Removing oneself from the shallow end of the gene pool by the most amusing and picturesque methods are what it takes to qualify. There are some very worthy candidates out there.

The Darwin Awards
Go to the horse's mouth and see just how gormless people can be.

Ig Nobel Prizes
Are on the same lines and definitely not the Nobel Prizes.
QUOTE
The Ig Nobel Prizes honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative -- and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology.

Darwin Award Candidate [ 24 May 2008 ]
