4.0 out of 5 stars
dumb de dumb dumb,
By David Group (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hey, Idiot!: Chronicles of Human Stupidity (Paperback)
I believe it was Einstein who said that only two things were infinite, the universe and human stupidity. Enterprising writers have turned the latter into a cottage industry, News of the Weird and The Darwin Awards being two of the more well-known examples. This book is a worthy contender, with nearly 250 pages of prime Grade-A idiocy. While I've docked it one star for lack of documentation (I suspect a few fictional and/or urban legend stories may have snuck in), those merely looking for a good laugh at the expense of other members of our highly-evolved(?) species will get their money's worth. Categorized into 12 chapters, each of which could probably have been a book in itself.

Not great,but not awful,
By Jazz Fan (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hey, Idiot!: Chronicles of Human Stupidity (Paperback)
I wasn't thrilled by this book, but by the same token, I wasn't impelled to get my money back. It's...well, okay, I guess. Much of the info here, as was noted, isn't verified, and I have a feeling that a lot is bogus. I was hoping for something more along the lines of the Darwin Awards. That said, one does get some laughs here.

Hey, Idiot! Review,
By Robert Whitaker Sirignano "Robert WS--" (Directly above the center of the earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hey, Idiot!: Chronicles of Human Stupidity (Paperback)
While the book does have a lot of off the wall events written down, it is absolutely worthless as a piece of research. A few Urban Legends are presented here as real stories. There are almost no newspapers cited, no dates, no years. Given that it then lacks any sense of having been really researched, I'm left with no reason to beleive anything in the book, no matter how clever the author can write.
