Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

The 17th Ig Nobel Awards were given out this week. Each winner is belted by paper airplanes, The trophies had an egg and a chicken on them. When asked why, they said "How could you not?"

Awards were given for:

A report on sweord swallowing and the effects
Research on whether rats can discriminate between Japanese and Dutch spoken backwards

Past winners have been:
The creator of the pink plastic flamingo
The first reported case of homosexual necrophilia among mallard ducks (this behavior does not happen in chickens)

An eight year old girl sat on stage. If an acceptance speech went longer than one minute, she would say "Stop. I'm bored."
