Here's a link to the Irreproducible heaven/hell article, which also
includes
the short text of the Applied Optics version:

Those interested in pushing back the barriers of ignorance, as
exemplified in the Journal of Irreproducable Results, might enjoy the
book, A Stress Analysis of a Strapless Evening Gown and other Essays
for an Age of Modern Science, (or some title close to that).

The title essay is illlustrated with several vector diagrams that are
quite instructive.

A classic illustration of the little known fact that sometimes you CAN judge
a book by it's cover.

If memory serves, it's actually a collection of articles from the
JIR......sort of a "best of" thingy.
