Love it! almost as much as the Ignoble and Darwin awards :)
"Two special anniversary awards known as the "Diagram of Diagrams" (the name reflects the "Booker of Bookers") have been presented to honour both the 15th and the 30th anniversaries of the Diagram Prize. The nominations of the prizes were all of the previous winners up to that point in time.
In 1993, the winner of the 15th anniversary award was
"Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice",
the winner of the first Diagram Prize.
The second "Diagram of Diagrams", announced on 5 September 2008, was
"Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers",
