About this audiobook
The Darwin Awards: Next Evolution commemorates those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it, showing us just how uncommon common sense can be!
Meet the absentminded terrorist who opens a mail bomb returned to him for insufficient postage. Marvel at the thief who steals electrical wires before shutting off the current. Gape at the would-be pilot who flies his lawn chair suspended from helium balloons into air-traffic lanes.
These tales of trial and awe-inspiring error illustrate the ongoing saga of survival of the fittest in all its selective glory!
Check out the rest of our Darwin Awards titles!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Would have been better without all the in text references!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A lite easy read. I would recommend this book as a space filler. It was interesting to read how stupid people can be, but overall it did not keep me glued to the pages.
