Science Made Stupid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Science Made Stupid: How to Discomprehend the World Around Us is a book written and illustrated by Tom Weller in 1985. The winner of the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Non-Fiction Book, it is a parody of a junior high or high school-level science textbook. Though currently out-of-print, it exists online in an abridged form that has been endorsed by Weller [1]. Highlights of the book include a satirical account of the creationism vs. evolution debate and Weller's drawings of fictional prehistoric animals (e.g., the duck-billed mastodon.)

Weller released a companion volume, Culture Made Stupid (also spelled Cvltvre Made Stvpid), which satirizes literature and the humanities. Several pieces from the book are available online, including an authorized reprinting of Beowulf ond Godsylla [2].
