Subject: Annals of Improbable Research
A while ago I received an announcement by e-mail that the
entire staff of the Journal of Irreproducible Results had
resigned and started a new periodical, the Annals of
Improbable Research, which had no connection with the Journal
of Irreproducible Results. Since this information might be
useful to librarians whose libraries subscribed to the JIR, I
posted the information here. With it I included information
on how to subscribe to MINI-AIR, the free abridged version
of AIR distributed by e-mail.
Recently someone wrote to me saying that the information for
subscribing to MINI-AIR had changed. She suggested I check
and post the updated information. I have no connection with
AIR or MINI-AIR, but why should that stop me. I have received
the latest issue. Here is the information about both the
AIR and MINI-AIR

1995-10-11 WHAT IS AIR? (*)
The Annals of Improbable Research (AIR) is a splendidly subversive
science humor magazine produced by the founders and entire former
editorial staff (1955-1994) of "The Journal of Irreproducible
Results" and by other research scientists and other AIRheads from
around the world. AIR's co-founders are Marc Abrahams, who edited
the Journal from 1990-1994, and Alexander Kohn, who co-founded the
Journal in 1955 and was its editor until 1989. The editorial board
consists of more than 40 distinguished scientists from around the
world, including eight Nobel Laureates and a convicted felon.
Each October, AIR produces the Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony, honoring
people whose achievements "cannot or should not be reproduced."
[IMPORTANT -- AIR is IN NO WAY associated with the name "The
Journal of Irreproducible Results" or with the entity which now
owns that name.]
