 | | The Google Usenet archive shows two early mentions of the Darwin Awards, one dated 1985-08-07 Vending Machine Tipover, which wasn't mentioned on Usenet again until it was referenced in the 1990-12-07 version of the JATO Rocket Car. | | | Generally if others are harmed or endangered in the course of the action, the nominee is disqualified (though exceptions exist); this renders, for example, most drunk drivers ineligible, even if they were not disqualified by lack of excellence. | | | Wendy Northcutt began collecting the stories in 1993 when she was working at Stanford University. |

| | The Darwin Awards are continually updated (or removed) based on new information, and this final review process continues for as long as the story remains on the website. | | | Unconfirmed by Darwin indicates fewer credible submissions and the unavailability of direct confirmation of media sources. | | | The September 2002 spike resulted in the Darwin Awards “Slip Sliding Away,” on page 53, and “A Rocky Roll” on page 30. |

| | Contrary to belief, there is no panel of distinguished judges weighing each potential Darwin Award entry then sagely reaching agreement as to which deserves an official accolade. | | | The entry (#4 on the list given in the "Example" section above) is accurate in its details. | | | [...] The prime tenet of the Darwin Awards is that we are celebrating the self-removal of incompetent genetic material from the human race. |

| | Salon People We're with stupid |
| | Collected and verified by a Berkeley-educated molecular biologist (alias "Darwin") who went on to do research in neurobiology at Stanford (where she first heard the term "Darwin Awards"), the stories range from the sublimely ironic to the pathetically stupid. | | | Also, under no circumstances should the dearly departed make the nominee list for the Darwin Awards. | | | Impressed by these and other hare-brained notions gone awry, I spoke to "Darwin" about the forces at work behind such actions. |
