Ig Nobels!

Yeah, yeah. Peace Prizes, Nobels for chemistry, they're all very nice.

But what I'm really interested in is the Ig Nobels.

So much love for the absolute absurdity of all this. Prizes awarded include:

• Agriculture: James Watson, for his scholarly work "The Significance of Mr. Richard Buckley's Exploding Trousers"
• Medicine: Gregg A. Miller, for the creation of Neuticles, prosthetic testicles (available in three sizes and three degrees of firmness) for your neutered dog
• Literature: Nigerian spammers, for their creation of an epic sent to millions of readers, petitioning them for just a bit of expense money
• Chemistry: Edward Cussler, for his study "Will Humans Swim Faster or Slower in Syrup?"

And many, many more.

Good times.
