The Darwin Awards
The Darwin Awards are given to incredibly stupid people.
In her book "The Darwin Awards (Evolution in Action)"
Wendy Northcutt explains the concept very neatly.
Darwin Award winners plan out and carry out disasterous schemes that an
average chlid can tell are a really bad idea. They contrive to eliminate them-
selves from the gene pool in such an extraordinarily idiotic manner, that
their action ensures the long-term survival of our species, which now
contains one less idiot, and the spectacular means by which they snuff
themselves, qualifies them for the honor of winning a Darwin Award.

The following haiku were written by visitors at the site.
The dawn of Mankind.
When will our journey be through?
Dusk could be here soon.
Stupidity dies.
The end of future offspring.
Evolution wins.
Dodo is extinct.
Rhino's sitting on the brink.
You're next, save you think.
Canada in white.
Snowmobilier's paradise.
Darwin's gonna strike!
Dude had a screw loose.
Glad he didn't reproduce.
Darwin saved the day.
Death happens to all.
Some have quite a while to wait.
Some knock on Death's door.
I think for myself.
Warning signs do not apply
To an immortal.
Stupidity kills.
Absolute stupidity
Kills absolutely.
Homemade parachute.
The latest technology:
Opens on impact.
