The Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest

Honoring those who improve our gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves fromit, The Darwin Awards III includes more than one hundred brand new, hilariously macabre mishaps and misadventures. From a sheriff who inadvertently shot himself twice , to the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw; from a farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag to the man crushed by the branch he just trimmed, The Darwin Awards III proves again that when it comes to stupidity, no species does it like we do.

There are several amusing stories, but it got old quick. Its a bit too grim to be really funny, yet its still difficult to keep from laughing at some of them.

Great if you like stories of people killing themselves in amusing ways. Would be less depressing if they weren't all true. A bit sick.

Occasionally funny stories of stupid deaths.

Az evolúció atyjának, Charles Darwinnak a tiszteletére létrehozott Darwin-díaj azoknak állít emléket, akik nagyban hozzájárultak az emberi faj genetikai tökéletesedéséhez, amikor saját génjeiket eltávolították a génállományból; egyúttal azt is megmutatták, hogy a józan ész nem is olyan magától értetődő dolog, mint gondolnánk.
