The Darwin Awards (Abridged): Evolution in Action Audiobook

" I found this book hilarious. now I know better than to speak ill of the dead but come on. most of these people really asked for it. What in the world WERE they thinking? LoL "

" Sooo funny. Self-inflicted and fate-filled incidents to take individuals from the gene pool. Should be tragic, but it isn't... "

" It was good for a quick read and a laugh. Wouldn't read it more than once though. "

" Silly reading and quite scary to see how stupid some people really are. It is amazing we have evolved this far. "

" Turns out truth is actually funnier than fiction. "

" I love these Darwin Awards books. They're great to read when you have other things going on because each story is so short. I can literally pick this up when I have 30 free seconds and get a laugh. Many of them I read out loud to my husband as well. My 10 and 8 year olds also enjoy them, although the 8 year old misses a lot of references. A warning: I did wind up having to explain, "Mom, what's S&M sex?" to the 10 year old. Oh well, gotta explain it sometime... At least the guy it referred to was a moron, so I liked the context. :) "

" A selection of entertaining tales of human mishaps leading to death or infertility, with plenty of 'honorable mentions' for those lucky enough to avoid snuffing it. "

" Funny stories to read before bed! "

" how people are dumb enough to off themselves in such fashion is humorus "

" this book is ok for a good laugh, but don't sit and read it all at once it will make you doubt human inteligence. "

" Sad but true ways people have died. Some are so bizarre and obviously a bad idea, that you can't help but laugh that someone would even try to do that. "

" This books contains compilation of Human stupidity. The story describe how crazy idea is implemented and ended in tragedy. Although the reading is quite interesting, it is told on formal languange. "

" Toooo Funnnnnny "

" My Goodness, I am happy to be a woman! Haha "

" There are some really stupid people in the world...LOL "

" Some of us learn by experience and some of us learn by death and dismemberment. "

" stupidity makes me laugh "

" The first few stories were amusing and then it just got repetitive. Yeah, people are stupid. Some people are REALLY stupid. "

" This morbidly humorous book is a great light read. "

" It is what it is. If you know the website, then this is that. In book form. Which is much easier for toilet reading (for some reason, people still look at you funny if you bring a wifi connected laptop into the crapper). "

" A good bathroom book. Although entertaining, I found the book's self-righteous tone unnecessary. I am perfectly capable of finding entertainment in the misfortune of others, without having to be convinced that the individuals where somehow deserving of their misfortunes. "

" What could be more funny than a book about people doing soo many stupid things that they end up killing themselves? Of these are true and are not fictional. "

" Great bathroom reading :) "

" It's a funny book that will pass the time on the bus, the train, or in a house bathroom. You will have a hard time believing some of the stories, but you will not have a hard time laughing at the people it references. There are some very hilarious true stories in the book. "

" The author thinks the same way as I do. But when I put in a question on the topic in the answerbag some 2 years back about removing undesirable gene from the pool - well - I was told I was thinking the way Hitler thought! I very much appreciate this book and recommend it to one and all! "

" Not only a HUGE Fan I am also quoted in this tome (my one claim to fame). At the time I used a different nom de plume. If anyone is interested I will own up to my quote, but until them it’s more fun to guess ;) "

" It was good for a quick read and a laugh. Wouldn't read it more than once though. "

" this book is ok for a good laugh, but don't sit and read it all at once it will make you doubt human inteligence. "

" Pretty quirky shorts and some out right gross to even think that someone would actually do the actions told about. A good quick read for light entertainment though. "

" I loved this book it is really funny, it shows the human stupidity at its peaks and that however much we evolve we will always have boneheads among us. "

" The first few stories were amusing and then it just got repetitive. Yeah, people are stupid. Some people are REALLY stupid. "

" The entire series just reinforces Einsteins quote that there are two thing that are infinite 1) the Universe & 2) human stupidity and this weeding out the imbeciles before they breed is not going fast enough for Humanity becoming ending up like something out of the movie "Idiocracy" "

" Gotta love when humans weed themselves out. Sad but true stories. "

" Sooo funny. Self-inflicted and fate-filled incidents to take individuals from the gene pool. Should be tragic, but it isn't... "

" people are incredibly stupid and that's always going to be funny "
