Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Template:Wikidata image 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.
