Miss a Near Miss
2007 Honorable Mention
Unconfirmed by Darwin

MIT student narrowly escapes death by submachine gun.

(21 September 2007, Massachusetts) The woman later claimed that strolling around an airport while wearing a fake bomb was "art" but this kind of artistic performance is apt to be short-lived. Particularly if you choose Logan International Airport in Boston. Two of the passenger jets hijacked on 9/11 took off from Logan. The student was apprehended at gunpoint, and forced to surrender her flashing circuit board and ball of Play-doh. "She's lucky to be in a cell as opposed to the morgue," said police.

Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest

Hardback. 304 pages. Autographed.
$15
The human race's most popular humor series returns with a brand-new collection of macabre mishaps and misadventures. Honoring those who improve our gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves from it, the Darwin Awards III shows once more how uncommon common sense still is.

Salute the sheriff who inadvertently shot himself--twice! Witness the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw! Heed the story of the farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag! Cringe at the man crushed by a branch he'd just severed... directly over his head!

123 new stories, 18 full-page illustrations, plus discussions of transgenic animals, the origin of life, and more.

Autographed by Author!
