In celebration of Darwin day we should keep in mind the other end of human evolution, or lack of, that is annually celebrated by The Darwin Award.

Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove themselves from it, thus ensuring that the next generation is one idiot smarter. Of necessity, the Awards are generally bestowed posthumously.

Past winners have included the lawyer who demonstrated, in defence of his client, how the victim could have drawn his own gun in a way that he shot himself. So convincing was the lawyers demonstration he actually shot and killed himself, an airforce sergeant aiming to break the land speed record by attaching a Jet Assisted Take Off Unit to his Chevvy (at 300mph he became airborne and in true Wylie Coyote style man met mountain) and they Egyptian who climbed into a well to rescue a chicken and drowned, along with the five other members of the town who one by one went down to rescue those who went before. The chicken survived.

Check out last years winners and keep your fingers crossed you don’t come across any relatives!

      It's good but it's no museum on creationism!
