All new Rust Blaster!

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Tired of rusty bolts that wont come off? Wouldn't it also be nice to remove yourself from the living world? Then why not try our new and improved combination 12 guage rust and life remover!?

A 66 year old Washington State man, fed up with not being able to remove the lug nut off his Lincoln Continental, decided to use his own improvised 'impact' wrench, namely, a 12 guauge shotgun. Our budding mechanic took aim at the offending lug nut and fired. The blast nearly removed him from the genepool. He was "...bound and determined to get that lug nut off," states Kitsap County Deputy Sherrif. The man suffered peppering of his legs from the shot, and the extend of his injuries extended to his chin. The clincher to this story, is that the man in question was stone sober, and acted alone. Perhaps if he had been a few inches closer he would have truly become a Darwin winner. Lets face it, it wasn't for a lack of trying.

Ryan, while we have had many, many submissions of this same story, your write up is extraordinarily good so I vote to ask Darwin to see this one.

That is a very original writeup. Thanks, Ryan!


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!
