Title: Running low on new (and humorous) material
Product review: The latest book incarnation of the famed "Darwin Awards" by Wendy Northcutt covers the usual assortment of nitwits who offed themselves while doing things worthy of nitwits. An Internet phenomenon now on its third book, The Darwin Awards make for amusing reads for those who possess a little something dark in their humor.The problem with this third edition is that it simply does not deliver the goods when compared with previous editions. Has the joke worn off or are these examples not all that great? Is Northcutt running low on new material? Perhaps. Maybe a few more years between editions might make for better stories. The filler material in the book is also weak and further illustrates that there is not much here.Truth is, The Darwin Awards website is better than this book. And since the site costs nothing, skip the book.
