I didn't realise they had published books on the IgNobels. Must get me a copy!!!

For those who aren't aware of it, the IgNobel awards are given for "achievements that cannot or should not be reproduced."

The award for Fluid Dynamics this year will be of particular interest to Sdaji, as it involves one of his favourite animals.

And, apparently, they'll be touring Australia next August.
