New York Times best-selling humorist Leland Gregory chronicles laboratory experiments gone awry, modern-day mad scientists, and scientific mythconceptions inside Stupid Science.Consider these cases of misdirected human activity, each in the name of science:The Illinois Department of Conservation spent $180,000 to study the contents of owl vomit.
