To win, nominees must significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race in an astonishingly stupid way.
(This is a book I got for Xmas, by the way)
Here's a choice exert:
A man tried to commit a robbery in Renton, Washington. It was probably his first attempt at armed robbery, as suggested by the following:
1) The target was H&J Leather and firearms. A gun shop.
2) The shop was full of customers - in a US state where many adults are licenced to carry concealed handguns in public
3) To enter the shop, he had to step around a police patrol car parked at the front door.
4) An officer in uniform was standing next to the counter in the shop.
Upon entering the shop, the criminal discharged several round into the air. The clerk and officer promptly returned fire, thereby removing the criminal form the geen pool.

I got that book too, for christmas. They have a website, I think it is www.darwinawards.com, or something like that.
Some of the stories really make you cringe, others I just laughed out loud ! ! ! ! ! !

I've heard of this, although I haven't got the book. I read about one guy who got on a plane in some undeveloped country (where customs are a bit slack) with loads of guns and knives. He put everyone at gun and knife point, took all the valuables everyone had. He went to the exit of the plane, opened the door, took out a grenade, pulled the pin, threw the pin into the plane, and jumped out holding the explosive part.
But it doesn't end there. He was counting on his home made parachute to save him, and you can probably guess it didn't. He was actually found dead in a hole that he had made by hitting the ground so hard. Idiot.

Here's one which wasn't in the book. It's not fatal, but it will make you cringe like you've never cringed before.
A guy dislocated his hip playing rugby. The physio decided the best thing to do was pop it back in, which he did. Unfortunately, one of the guy's testicles was caught between the leg and hip joint, and as the leg was pushed back into place, it promptly exploded under the pressure. Apparently, the pain was so intense, and the guy was screaming so hard that he actually tore his larynx, shortly before he passed out form the pain.

Jesus.....glad I don't play rugby. A teacher I once had told us that when he was at school a boy just dropped dead. It turned out that the reason he died was because he got hit full pelt in the balls when he was playing football. I don't think I'll leave the house without wearing a cup in future...
