that reminds me....it was probably 30-40 years ago that Mad Magazine, one month, did their usual in a parody of Scientific American. They called it Scienterrific American. It was hilarious. That's about all I remember though, but I though MM was usually hilarious. The thing about it was that MM usually only skewered American institutions, so that tells you that SA was an American institution 40 years ago....and that hasn't changed
it's too bad that MM shut down last fall; it was/is an American institution itself
