Science Made Stupid

I recently stumbled upon this website. It's pretty funny :)

  1. This is a shortened version of an actual (sadly out of print) book by Tom Weller, who also wrote the brilliant "Mimims" -- pity sayings that are the opposite of maxims.

  2. Yet the web site has a link to Amazon to buy the book. Does that mean used, or not out of print?

    "Minims". Great name for the stuff i hear from management. "We're going to maximize our synergies...", and so on.

  3. I was excited when I read your comment, Stephen, but the Amazon link just points to Amazon's network of used book dealers -- it doesn't look like it's back in print -- which is too bad, because it looks like there's a demand -- for a book hardly 20 years old, used copies are going for $40+ dollars, which is unusual.
