"The Ig Nobel Prizes honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative — and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology.

These are physically handed out by genuinely bemused genuine Nobel laureates."

Staring wide-eyed, the Higgs-Boson responds “No, I don’t understand! Without me, how can you have mass!?”
