 NAME: THE WORM RUNNER' DIGEST

DESCRIPTION: Back in the 1960s the JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY was a
double magazine.  The flip side was a scientific humor magazine named THE
WORM RUNNER'S DIGEST, because the chief perpetrators were working on
learning in planaria...

The JBP part published stuff about planaria (flatworm) experiments. Some of
those were really funny. The WRD part published all kinds of funny
'science' articles, not just those about worms. I seem to recall one about
the breeding of giant chickens for use by the military. There was a
photograph of giant chickens serving as crew on a real army tank. I guess
you had to see it.

You might have to try a few (science) libraries until you find it.

 I also agree with the didactic effectiveness of ecological humor.  A very
good source for quipster material as a teaching tool in ecology is soon to
be published by Gordon & Brich in Longhorn PA, from many of Dr. Eugene
Odum's ecological vignettes.  It includes cartoons, which is even better
for the grafic appeal and the quality of the cartoonists.  Good luck.

 NAME: The snouters, form and life of the rhinogrades

DESCRIPTION: Besides Dr Seuss, there is also a nice little booklet by
Harald Stuempke: "Bau und Leben der Rhinogradentia", or, in its english
version edited by the university of Chicago press, "The snouters, form and
life of the rhinogrades". Its about the mythical fauna in a small pacific
island with noses evolved to serve all special purposes (jumping, diving,
walking etc.). The complete biology, systematics and ecology of the group
are developped and illustrated, the whole presented like a real scientific
paper, with references, footnotes to disputes over certain classification
details etc. I much enjoyed reading it.

MEDIUM: book (Chicago Press, ? ; German version: ?)
