A good laugh.

Have you heard of the Ig Nobel prizes?  No I hadn't either until a few days ago, despite the fact that they've been around for twenty years now.  The name is a humorous take on the word "ignoble" and the prizes are awarded for "unusual or trivial" achievements in their various fields.  This year prizes have been awarded for the discovery that a certain type of beetle will attempt to mate with a particular type of Australian beer bottle, that the quality of people's decision-making is affected (often for the better) when they have a strong desire to urinate, and research into why discus throwers become dizzy whereas hammer throwers do not.  How about that then?
