Have you ever been accused of telling boring stories? Want to wow your friends with tales of stupidity? Or, maybe you just want to entertain yourself for a few hours. Whatever the reason, check on darwinawards.com.
Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.
We're not kidding. Tales from this site include "I can fly," "bubble bath," "forklift tomfoolery" and hundreds more stories of stupidity.
This site is cool because it tries to verify the stories. Some are myths, some you just won't believe.
Novelistic conclusion

Nick Bantock, who created a whole new book format and legions of besotted readers with the first Griffin & Sabine novel-cum-coffee table book in 1991, has a new, characteristically lavish, pocketed and postcarded release due out from Chronicle Books.
"The Morning Star" is said to be the final chapter of the Griffin & Sabine story, when we will learn the fate of postcard illustrator Matthew Sedon and stamp designer Isabella de Reims as they journey to Egypt.
If the book gives you a yen for travel, go to chroniclebooks.com, and find out how you can win a sweepstakes.
