theoldwolfJust acquired by mail a copy of Droll Science, an anthology of academic and scientific humor, compiled by Robert L. Weber in 1987. It's full of wonderful things, some just humorous, others being more targeted slaps at pedagogical bureaucracies, and some making light of scientific pomposity. A true gem.

Much of it is available on GoogleBooks, with some sections missing as the copyright is still in force.
