"The 2014 Ig Nobel Prizes were physically handed to the winners at a ceremony at Harvard University, by five genuine Nobel Laureates"

I'm enjoying the thought of watching them being laughed at in-person at Harvard.

I don't know if we should really laugh at them, sometimes it's real science, it's just that the context or the subject makes it funny or disgusting. It's also I think a way to release some pressure from the shitty stuff you have to do to get some knowledge.

Sorry only one of them showed up, although it was a multinational group.
