And the Ig Nobel Prize goes to....

Here are some of this year's wieners. Some funny sh!te here.


Ivan R. Schwab, ... , for exploring and explaining why woodpeckers don't get
headaches.

Wasmia Al-Houty ... , for showing that dung beetles are finicky eaters.

Howard Stapleton ... , for inventing an electromechanical teenager
repellant -- a device that makes annoying high-pitched noise designed to be
audible to teenagers but not to adults; and for later using that same
technology to make telephone ringtones that are audible to teenagers but
probably not to their teachers.

Daniel Oppenheimer ... for his report "Consequences of Erudite Vernacular
Utilized Irrespective of Necessity: Problems with Using Long Words
Needlessly."

Francis M. Fesmire ... , for his medical case report "Termination of
Intractable Hiccups with Digital Rectal Massage"
