Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

This is live so if you aren't watching it now, I don't know what happens.

The link still works, it now leads to the full Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony.

I just saw a few pieces of it. I liked the sword-swallower who got the 2007 Ig Nobel award. Major creds to people like him who actually shows up for an award like this. Just like Halle Berry when she won the Razzie-award for her role as Cat Woman.

I was able to read an article related to this topic, please allow me to share it here. Laugh and then think, the 2011 Ig Nobel Prize winners were announced Thursday in a ceremony held at Harvard University’s Sanders Theatre. Many interesting entries win the titles but for those who did not make it better luck next year. The ceremony concluded with Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals of Improbable Research, saying: “If you didn’t win an Ig Nobel prize tonight — and especially if you did — .” Source for this article: Ig Nobel Awards honor the wackiest scientific studies of the year.
