Ever heard of the ig Nobel awards?

Tuesday, April 5th, 2005

me either, but with subjects as vast as:

  • An Analysis of the Forces Required to Drag Sheep over Various Surfaces.
  • Chickens Prefer Beautiful Humans
  • the first scientifically recorded case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck
  • a comprehensive survey of human belly button lint — who gets it, when, what color, and how much.

How can you go wrong?
