Dark humor about those who have removed themselves from the gene pool
An original and irreverent compendium of accidental deaths caused by astonishing stupidity, embarrassing irony and/or really bad luck, in the tradition of The Darwin Awards. Author Cynthia Ceilan includes details about:

on Fridays – and then discovered the weekly housekeeper was disconnecting
life support systems in order to plug in her vacuum cleaner
*Conqueror Attila the Hun, who died of a nosebleed on his wedding night
*Jean-Louis Toubon, who choked to death on his girlfriend's edible panties
*and many more!
