Stupid people doing stupid things is always fun. Whenever someone does something idiotic to remove themselves from the gene pool, Wendy Northcutt is there to compile their stories.

These are often criminals committing crimes gone wrong, but just as often feature regular Joes trying to ice fish with dynamite, cutting branches they are standing on or doing other mind-boggling dumb things that kill them.

You might feel uncomfortable laughing at the misfortune of others, but rest assured, all of these stories follow one rule. No innocents are harmed, and the events are always self-inflicted. You only qualify for a Darwin Award if you do it to yourself.

Everything in here is true to the best of the author's knowledge, sourced from newspapers around the world. There are several books in the series. If you like Jackass, this is the book for you.
