Thread Name: BS: Ig-Nobel Prizes
Subject: BS: Ig-Nobel Prizes
The annual Ig-Nobel prizes have been awarded. Genuine Nobel Laureates give them out at the awards ceremony. One Nobel laureate who couldn't make it sent a dummy of himself which his relatives hauled onstage to hand over the award. The prizes are howlers. For instance, this year's Ig-Nobel Prize for Literature went to the authors of the Nigerian email scam letters.

You can watch a video of the awards ceremony at a very funny website:
