Journal of Irreproducible Results II

George H. Scherr

3.8/5 ( ratings)

When Volume I of this Journal was published, many readers were unable to determine if its articles were serious or spoofs. Mission accomplished! Skewering academic pomposity and lampooning the language of science, this second edition includes 104 more "scholarly" papers ranging over the arts, behavioral science, economics, environmental studies, law, linguistics, mathematics, medicine, philosophy, physics, and sociology. Among the topics discussed are: * an equation to convert the K numbers of Mozart's works into conventional numbers * how internalizers and externalizers differentiate emotions in rats' faces * how to compute the "tree-value" of the historical novel * New York legislators' ability to "stop the clock" * why U.S. folk eat turkey on Thanksgiving * a refutation of the proof that Heaven is hotter than Hell * the Siamese twinning of Gummy Bears * hirsutism in dolls and more inspired lunacy! 8 1/4" x 11". B&W illustrations.
