Winners of the Ig(r) Nobel Prize

I do love these prizes. Guarenteed to make one chuckle at the absurdity of life *sigh* I particularly like the one about the "five-second rule" as the investigator swabbed the halls of a university ... which probably has a good janitorial staff anyway. What would happen if the same experiment were conducted in the halls of a common shopping complex or (more insidiously) the concrete apron surronding a primary school tuckshop?!

Now there lies the thoughts that lead to insanit(r)y!
