Science Made Stupid: How to Discomprehend the World Around Us is a 1985 book written and illustrated by Tom Weller. The winner of the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Non-Fiction Book, [1] it is a parody of a junior high or high school-level science textbook. Though now out of print, high-resolution scans are available online, [2] as well as an abridged transcription, [3] both of which have been endorsed by Weller. [4] Highlights of the book include a satirical account of the creationism vs. evolution debate [5] [6] and Weller's drawings of fictional prehistoric animals (e.g., the duck-billed mastodon). The style has been compared to Mad magazine. [7]
Weller released a companion volume, Culture Made Stupid (also spelled Cvltvre Made Stvpid), which satirizes literature and the humanities.
