<div class="IPBDescription">err, an Ig Nobel, at least.</div> 2004's <a href='http://www.improb.com/ig/ig-pastwinners.html#ig2004' target='_blank'>Ig Nobel</a> award winners have been chosen. Winners included a couple people who did a study of Suicide Rates and their relationship to Country Music, others who have been "exploring and explaining the dynamics of hula-hooping," and more that I won't list here so you can read it yourself.

There are links to all the winners' articles, of course.

The intention, often a prayer for the repose of the soul of a deceased relative, or for a sick family member, thanksgiving for a favor received, or a prayer offering for a newborn, is announced at Mass. | Also read: Interview with Greg Spots on his film on outsourcing blues.  |<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Woah woah woah!! Malayalam?!? YES!! Go Kerala!

    The <i>I dropped out of college and can't qualify to do anything important so I waste my time attempting to win a joke award by formulating the most useless, non-innovative, and i-could've-been-discovering-a-cure-for-cancer</i> award?

    Forget cancer- this is the kind of research that has FAR REACHING implications. Namely, my hands. Reaching for the food I dropped on the table a second ago.
