IgNobel prizes announced
This year’s IgNobel prizes have been awarded. The Biology prize goes to the somewhat disturbung discovery that hiccups can be cured by rectal massage. The Chemistry prize was awarded for investigating the effects of temperature on the ultrasonic velocity in Cheddar cheese. In Physics, they honoured an investigation of why dry spaghetti breaks in more than one place when bent. And, in Maths, the winners had calculated how many photos you need to take to ensure that no one has their eyes closed.
