This is from the book Science Made Stupid, published in 1985, and it shares the same space in my heart as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Thanks for giving this reference! The book is out of print, but high-resolution scans can be downloaded here for free, which is endorsed by the original author apparently.

Love Hitchikers Guide (every book) so thanks for the top tip on Science Made Stupid. Big love from the UK where we need everyone to read these books

Hate it when I accidentally drive over a lagrange point on my bicycle and the resulting tire wear leads me straight into a wormhole.
