Darwin Awards
People are stupid, and then they die, or so I like to say. I first encountered the term “Darwin Award” back in college. At the time, it sounded legitimate, although from the context I knew it must be a joke. Lo and behold, I was directed to the Darwin Awards website.
The concept is simple. People who demonstrate their irredeemable idiocy by removing themselves from the human gene pool (usually by getting themselves killed) are given awards and their stories recorded for posterity. Quite naturally, it makes an enjoyable read. Perhaps the most unbelievable part of the whole thing, though, is that every story is true.
