    Darwin Awards

    For the movie with the same name, see The Darwin Awards (film). Read more A Darwin Award is a tongue-in-cheek honour named after evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin. Awards have been given for people who “do a service to Humanity by removing themselves from the gene pool” (i.e. lose the ability to reproduce either by death or sterilization in a stupid fashion). According to Wendy Northcutt, author of the Darwin Award books: “The Awards honor people who ensure the long-term survival of the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool in a sublimely idiotic fashion.” The Darwin Award books state that an attempt is made to disallow known urban legends from the awards, but some older “winners” have been ‘grandfathered’ to keep their awards. Despite claiming veracity as a requirement, however, most submitted stories are not verified against reliable published sources, and many of them are fictional.
