Check out the Annals of Improbable Research. I came across some old issues of this magazine in my college's library archives yesterday, mixed in with the real scientific journals, and I quickly decided that I had to look them up online... maybe order a subscription or something....

It reads like a science themed version of The National Lampoon. They have articles about things like repairing a black hole with spackle, feng-shui experimentation to isolate the "Ch'i Meson", A scientific study of whether you can really break the ground open with "groundbreaking" articles, et cetera...... I highly reccommend it!

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well. No sooner do we deem ourselves free from a particularly gross superstition, than we are confronted by some enemy to learning who would plunge us back into the darkness -H.P.Lovecraft

He who fights with monsters must take care lest he thereby become a monster -Nietzsche

Oh, and also, I forgot, there are generally a couple of articles per issue that are actually real (generally however this is limited to a short list of actual, yet really ill-advised, research papers that the editors have found out about)..
