Winners of the Ig Nobel Prize These are prizes for people who do real research but it is not remotely worthy of a Nobel Prize. My two favorites this year are the awards for Chemistry and Biology.
Chemistry went to Coca-Cola of Great Britain. They used "advanced" technology to make tap water into the "super pure" Dasani which they had to pull from the market shelves because in fact they made it contain a cancer causing chemical.
Biology went to several people from Canada and Europe who shoed that herrings (no neccessarily red ones, but i think it includes those) communicate by farting. Yup, its real research.
Apparently they get real Nobel Prize winners to hand out the prizes so I think tonight I'll try to watch the ceremony, could be funny.

I like the one that links country music to suicide. I knew country music was evil.
I KNEW it. Farting in bed is more then just ticking off your spouse, it could be a way of saying 'i love you'.
great find.
oh baby. lets read a book.
kev, you are not a fish.
although you do throw around more than your fair share of red herrings.
