YOU GOTTA LOVE THIS
The young emigre Russian physicist who just won half of this year's Nobel Prize for important work on something called graffene [Google it] is also a past winner of an Ig Nobel Prize [a joke prize given by MIT students for weird useless research]. Apparently he suspended a frog in a magnetic field. He is the first winner of a Nobel and an Ig Nobel.

You have a slightly incorrect idea about the IgNobel prizes. I refer you to the Annals of Improbable Research for their statement.

But it's still fun, no matter how you slice it.

Oh rats! They said my password was incorrect, so you got 2 copies. Sorry--for their sysop.
Thanks for the link. They really are a hoot.
