Throughout the history we have found people appreciating the act of bravery and excellence which is distinct from the act of the common people. Those who seem to act more than a common people can do, are addressed as achievers or leaders. In order to continue with this legacy various strange awards have come into existence. Among many other new innovations, a Darwin Awards is surely one. This is a humorous honor named after the famous theorist Charles Darwin.

The facts like harming oneself or sterilize oneself accidentally in due course of attempting some apparently brave but stupid acts. This award is meant for those have sacrificed their life without achieving any benchmark in their life.
To follow a quote of famous poet, “such a sheer waste of a creative life”, is what the award winners do. The organizers of the Darwin Awards believe in a strange notion that this award are meant to honor those people who ensure the long-term survival of the human race by eliminating themselves from the gene pool in a sublimely idiotic fashion. It is to be noted that the candidate's foolishness must be unique and sensational, as the awards aim at making fun out of the sheer stupidity of the honored ones. This considered one of the most popular funny awards currently in operation through the world. Those who can exhibit the height of stupidity have the possibility to get themselves nominated in the list of Darwin Awards.
The nominees are selected after considering various factors. Those who will be selected as a nominee for Darwin Awards must be at least past the legal driving age and should not suffer from any mental problems. The judges look after the authenticity of the act of foolishness committed by the people. They will have a strict vigilance in order to confirm that the story is true. The story is required to be documented either by reputable newspaper articles, confirmed television reports, or responsible eyewitnesses. People must have heard about Awards of various types, but the Darwin Awards is truly a unique one. It is true that they award the one who have done the most foolish act of the year, yet you cannot place any false stories which will be disqualified once discovered null and void.
Some of the well known Darwin Awards holder includes a person from Croatia, who won this award in 2001 for juggling active hand grenades. A person from U.S bagged this award in 1996 for using a cigarette lighter to get enough light for looking down the barrel of a loaded gun. In 1987, the person who was awarded with this award jumped out of a plane to film skydivers without wearing a parachute. Another wonderful example of the one who was honored with Darwin Awards is the incident of Lawnchair Larry, who was reported to have attached helium filled weather balloons to a lawn chair and floated far above Long Beach of California in July 1982. These cases are considered unique and incomparable and the award ceremonies aim at making their stupidity public before the people of the world.
