So, an article at CNN had been peaking my interest for a while. It had to do with some lady winning some sort of award for her Bra/Gas Mask. Turns out that during the time that the actual Nobel Prizes are handed out, an organization called Improbable Research. They hand out the Ig Nobel Prizes.
Go here to see the full list of awards and winners.
Here is a quick highlight of some of the awards.
Peace Prize: Went to some guys who did a study to see if it was better to be hit over the head with a full or empty beer bottle.
Chemistry: Some guy who created diamonds fom Tequilla.
Medicine: To a guy who each day for 60 years cracked the knuckles on one hand and not the other to see if cracking knuckles causes arthritis.
Public Health: To the lady who created a bra that could be used as a gas mask.
So if you are not able to be the President after George Bush, and thus win the Nobel Peace Prize. Maybe you could negotiate a peace accord between the children of the Hatfields and McCoys and get yourself the Ig Nobel Prize.
40 is not the new anything.
