For funny written material about science, there's the book A Random Walk 
Through Science, as well as some science humor web sites (Google). 
Sidney Harris has many cartoon books on humor. I think Random Walk had a 
sequel. I see in Amazon it did, but there was another book with science 
and maybe funny in the title that was published a few years ago. I 
thought the price was pretty high for the size, so didn't buy it.
