Ig Nobel Prize – for the Discoveries That Make Us Laugh

Ig Nobel Prize was organized by Annals of Improbable Research

, an American scientific humor magazine. This is a kind of a parody to the famous Nobel Prize that was created to award the most unusual, ridiculous and useless researches. Here are some of the recent Ig Nobel winners and the subjects of their research.

1.Stephan Bolliger, Steffen Ross, Lars Oesterhelweg, Michael Thali and Beat Kneubuehl of the University of Bern, Switzerland, were awarded in 2009 for proving experimentally that it is better to be smashed over the head with a full bottle of beer than with an empty bottle.

2.Donald L. Unger, of Thousand Oaks, California, USA, won the prize in medicine. Dr Unger has been cracking the knuckles of his left hand, but never those of his right one for more than sixty years to prove it doesn't cause arthritis.

3.In 2008 the prize in biology was given to Marie-Christine Cadiergues, Christel Joubert, and Michel Franc of Ecole Nationale Veterinaire de Toulouse, France, who discovered that the fleas living on dogs jump higher than those living on cats.

4.Lingusts Juan Manuel Toro, Josep B. Trobalon and Nuria Sebastian-Galles, of Universitat de Barcelona, were awarded in 2007 for proving that rats can't differentiate a person speaking Japanese backwards from that speaking Dutch backwards.

5.Massimiliano Zampini of the University of Trento, Italy and Charles Spence of Oxford University, UK, won the Ig Nobel in nutrition in 2008 for electronically modifying the potato chip crisping to make its sound better than it actually is.

6.Literature prize of 2009 was shared among the road police of Ireland who contrived to write more than 50 traffic tickets to the violator named Prawo Jazdy (the Polish for driving license').
