Nightlife: The Darwin Awards

Wendy Northcutt, author of the Darwin Awards books, comes to NightLife to share some of the tales which have made her books a runaway success, "honoring those who improve the species...by accidentally removing themselves from it!"

The Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives. Darwin Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chances of long-term survival.  They are awarded based on the following Criteria:

Inability to Reproduce - Nominee must be dead or rendered sterile.

Excellence - Astoundingly stupid judgment.

Self-Selection - Cause of one's own demise.

Maturity - Capable of sound judgment.

and

Veracity - The event must be verified.

21 and over only.
