Ig Nobel
A study on how to relieve jetlag in hamsters won one of the prizes |
Other winners included work on treating hamster jetlag with impotency drugs, extracting vanilla from cow dung, and the side-effects of sword swallowing.
The awards, founded in 1991, mark achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think".
The prize ceremony took place at Harvard University, US.
Genuine Nobel Laureates handed out the much-coveted awards to the winners, who took away no cash, but instead received a hand-made prize, a certificate, and, of course, the glory of such an illustrious win.

Gotta give credit to the Pentagon for thinking outside the box. On the other hand, I'll bet these guys got plenty million dollars for sitting around thinking outside the box.
They obviously don't believe in what goes around, comes around.
In my fevered dreams, it occurs to me how easily the Pentagon could be (and should be) turned into a damn fine prison.
"Don't tase me bro."
