The Ig Nobel Prizes, an annual event parodying the Nobel Prizes, were awarded in Zurich this year. Winners included research on designing splash-free urinals, using mosquito proboscises to create tiny nozzles, studying the decomposition of buried cotton underwear, and investigating the aerodynamics of blowing one's nose. The ceremony featured miniature operas, scientific demos, and 24/7 lectures.
