The annual
IgNobel Prize awards honor people whose achievements "cannot or should not be reproduced." Ten prizes are given to people who have done remarkably goofy things -- some of them admirable, some perhaps otherwise. The prizes are presented at
Harvard University, and are sponsored by the scientific humour journal [Annals of Improbable Research]
?. The first IgNobels were awarded in
1991. They are a parody of the
Nobel Prizes.
For more information about the IgNobels, see the [IgNobel Homepage].
