<DIV><p><b>The newest installment of the human race's most "devastatingly" popular humor series. </b></p><p>The Darwin Awards are more than just a brand. They're a pop culture phenomenon. With six books and a website that draws in more than a million unique visitors every month, the Darwin Awards rivals <i>The Onion</i> and <i>The Simpsons</i> as one of the biggest humor franchises in the world.</p><p>Fully illustrated and featuring all-new tales of the marvelously macabre, <i>The Darwin Awards Countdown to Extinction</i> chronicles the astonishing acts of individuals who have taken a swan dive into the shallow end of the gene pool. From attaching a five-horsepower engine to a barstool, to hammering a metal hook into an explosive device, to using a taser to treat a snake bite, these gloriously gruesome incidents prove that the countdown (to human extinction) is well under way. And we won't exit this mortal coil without one last laugh.</p></div>
