A humorous view at typically boring subjects,

This review is from: The Best of the Journal of Irreproducible Results (Paperback)
If you want to get a good laugh at scientific studies on almost anything, read this book! Anyoone with a little intelligence will appreciate the thought that went into this book. I only wish there was a followup! Imagine scientific proof that you can lose weight by eating frozen food! The calories burned by the body just to heat up the food can offset the caloric content of the food itself! Guranteed weight loss. See how to plunge a room into darkness with a 'dark bulb', removing all light and enabling a person to sleep at any time of the day. Lots more!

This review is from: The Best of the Journal of Irreproducible Results (Paperback)
"The Best of the Journal of Irreproducible Results" is a very good source of improbable humor. On the face of the book, it says it is parody. Having read it many times, I am not so sure about that. Personally, I think many of the articles were/are absolute truth! In the 1970s J.I.R. (the Journal of Irreproducible Results) was published on the backside of "The Worm Runner's Digest". For those of us who read the two, laughter became a lot more available in our dour labs. Consider the following: "Prenatal Psychoanalysis", "The Triple Blind Test", "Murphy's Refutation of Descartes" and "One-Minute Mismanager". If a smile appears on your face, this is a terrific book for you! If a smile does not appear on your face, you need a smile adjustment. Buy the Book! It will help!
