4.5

Nothing to add here that hasn't already been said in the other 5-star reviews. I agree with every single one of them.

I read Science Made Stupid because [b:Mathematics Made Difficult|3693042|Mathematics made difficult|Carl E Linderholm|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|3736529] was proving to be too far over my head and I needed something a little, well, stupider. Science Made Stupid is full of lots of pictures and is sort of a Monty Python take on science, with diagrams of things like theories of the solar system, such as geocentric (Earth in the middle), heliocentric (sun in the middle), ethnocentric (USA in the middle and China, Europe, the moon, and the sun in orbit around it), and egocentric (person in the center with the sun, Jupiter, and the moon orbiting around him). It's very punny, and while some of the jokes require a certain familiarity with scientific theorems and names, it's not particularly technical and you don't have to have a science background to pick up on the humor. Good for a laugh.
