Er, I mean the winners of the 2013 IgNoble prize have been announced! Such an august event (or it a September event?) has been noted in the popular media and here is one account: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24061992
Funniest bits in the above article are on how drinking makes a person perceive themselves as more attractive and on penile amputations and ducks (you'll have to read the article). For those who are original source purists, here is a link to the IgNobel website where more information and video of the ceremony can be obtained: http://www.improbable.com/ig/2013/ NOTE: Look at the bottom of the page for info on the IgNoble lectures to be presented at MIT this Saturday, Sept 14, 1pm. By the way, I still think that the greatest scientific contribution that has won an Ignoble prize is the garment that can be used as gas mask.
