McCullagh" To: Fight Censorship Mailing List Subject: AIR Claims Standards, Won't Publish Rimm Reply-To: fight-censorship+@andrew.cmu.edu Cc: Brian Connelly Status: RO X-Status: Marc Abrahams, the editor of the Annals of Improbable Research -- nee the Journal of Irreproducible Results -- spoke on campus last night. The talk included highlights from the Ig Nobel Prize ceremonies and discussions of just plain wacky research. Things like "The Taxonomy of Barney," "Feline Reactions to Bearded Men," and "Tabletop Fusion." Someone asked if AIR would consider publishing Marty Rimm's study. He replied that even they have standards. -Declan (I heard this from Brian. Replies set to f-c.)
