The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally kill themselves in really stupid ways.

2001 has men killed by guns, sheep, and enormous stalactite crystals. New entries from the archives monthly! Can life get any more exciting?

2000 featured a woodchipper, a home-made parachute, a stoned woman who slept on the roof, two friends shooting beer cans off each other, and six men sailing in a two-man boat. Many lessons were learned!

1999 was a banner year. Terrorists forgot to check their watches, men played bar games with landmines, off-duty firefighters tried to drum up business, and a stoner swam with a killer whale. All this and more!

1998 gave us a grab bag. A husband and wife bounce on electrical wires, a man chokes on a live fish, a teenager takes good hygiene too far, and two friends find that motorcycles and fireworks don't mix.

1997 was the year of the thief. Two (almost) escaped from jail on bedsheets. Another intruded on the wrong balcony. And two bunglers tried to steal the support legs out from under a metal tower. All this and more!

1996 was the year of the chainsaw, cat worshippers, hungry snakes, and lawyers.

1995 has the JATO Jet Car.

And the vintage years!
