	Computer Science or Computer Secrecy
		Although many results in science are treated as a ``fl box'', for operational simplicity, there is always the possibility that the evidence may want to lead us inside that box.
		Results in Computer Science that are based, in part, on undisclosed matters, inhibit the ability of the scientist to follow the evidence wherever it may lead.
		In the interest of academic integrity, better science would result if all the foundations upon which it were built were such as to be subject to full examination by any scientist who might, at some time in the future, wish to build upon a given scientific discovery.

		The American staff of The Journal of Irreproducible Results (JIR), the oldest and best-known satirical science journal, has left to set up a competing magazine after several years of disagreements with its British publisher.
		According to editor Marc Abrahams, the split is the result of long-lived antagonism with Blackwell.
		JIR was founded in 1955 by Alex Kohn, a virologist at Tel Aviv University, best known for his scientific paper proving that the North American continent is likely to sink under the accumulated weight of stockpiled National Geographic Society magazines.

		Actually the scapegoat[2] of the whole affair was Gallo's collaborator, Mikulas Popovic, who originally was found by ORI guilty on 4 counts of scientific misconduct (and as a result was unemployed for 4 years).
		As a result of this whole affair, ORI is preparing revised guidelines on the basis of which a scientist can be convicted of fraud only if he (she) knew that "a sentence in his/her manuscript might be misleading." Let us hope that this will be so.

		George is the current publisher of The Journal of Irreproducible Results, having obtained ownership of that publication in 1994 -- some months after Marc resigned as its editor.
		George was also publisher of the Journal from 1964-1989; in 1989 he sold the Journal to a different publisher, against whom he then took legal action.
		In 1964, George got involved, becoming the Journal's publisher, a relationship that apparently was inharmonious from the start (please do not ask Marc for details, as he knows them only second hand from Alex and Harry).

		Welcome to the Journal of Irreproducible Results, the official publication of the Society for Basic Irreproducible Results.
		The Journal spoofs, parodies, and satirizes what its editor calls "the verbosity, pompous obscurantism, and sheer stupidity encountered in scientific publications and projects." Some items in the quotes are real reprints from legitimate journals to illustrate their actuality.
		In "Pickle and Humbug" the journal reported the striking discovery that pickles cause cancer, communism, airline tragedies, auto accidents and crime waves.

		If so, you're on your way to publication in a scholarly journal; if not, there's always The Journal of Irreproducible Results, a magazine founded in 1955 in order to provide a home for the less reputable branchildren of scientists with a sense of humor.
		The Best of "The Journal of Irreproducible Results" contains 94 wildly funny monographs ranging from a thoughtful essay on the inheritance pattern of death ("a classic Mendelian autosomal recessive pattern") to an exciting new personality test ("I become homicidal when people try to reason with me").
		Familiarity with the idiosyncrasies of a scholarly journal is helpful when reading this book, but it isn't obligatory; scientific double-talk has become a universal non-language over the last couple of decades.

		The paper was written in response to US court decisions of the time that restricted popular magazines from detailing how to make a bomb.
		But they do say that about five kilograms of plutonium is theoretically enough to make a nuclear explosive device, while the recipe in The Journal of Irreproducible Results calls for 110 kilograms of plutonium.
		Even so, says Abrahams, "if you spend half a second scanning any of this you should be able to tell it's a joke." He adds that if the instructions were made more believable by removing the ridiculous parts, there would be practically nothing left.
