Darwin Award winners do not. Most of us have basic sound judgment that eliminates the need for NO SMOKING signs at gas stations. Darwin Award winners do not. No warning label could have prevented evolution from creeping up on the homeowner who filled his house with natural gas to kill termites, the easy rider who decided to steer his motorcycle with his feet, or the winner who tried to weld a hand grenade onto a chain. Filled with more than one hundred new tales of evolution in action, and complete with essential science and safety discussions, <I>The Darwin Awards 4: Intelligent Design</I> shows that when it comes to common sense, natural selection still has a long way to go.61719312003The Darwin Awards 4: Intelligent Design (Darwin Awards)total:114|5:24|4:41|3:35|2:14|1:0|1144171862130truefalseSun Jun 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009Mon Jun 22 13:07:01 -0700 2009Mon Jun 22 13:08:45 -0700 20091

- I too skipped over the Evolution-based essays. Why were they there at all ?
