The Journal of Irreproducible Results

How about the "show not tell"-principle on the landing page? Got tired of reading "science humor" without anything to trick me into considering an absurd result?

This was always a fun read; I think that it was about 20 years ago that a falling out among the editors led to a split between IJR and the Annals of Improbable Research, now best known for their annual Ig Nobel prizes.

I got the "best of IJR" book many years ago, and continue to tell people about one article in particular: "National Geographic: The Doomsday Machine." You can read it here: http://www.jir.com/geographic.html

In short, so many people in the Northeastern US subscribe to National Geographic, and never throw it out, that the continent is in danger of tipping over.

"The rule for length is simple: write it for what it's worth. Include everything that ought to be there, and then stop. Don't leave out anything that helps the article, but don't pad, either."

Fun concept but "Subscribe" link littered throughout text was pretty brutal.
