Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony: Tonight!

Annals of Improbable Research (AIR) has been around for a long time, and anyone who considers themselves a science nerd/geek/dweeb/etc should immediately check them out. Their goal is to make you laugh and then think...

One way of doing this is honoring those people who did quality improbable research. Instead of the Nobel Price, they offer the Ig Nobel Prize.

 Check it out, this is the 21st annual Ig Nobel prize ceremony!
