    [LMAO!] Science is a Joke, The winners for the Ig Nobel Prizes 2013

    What a waste of money and space some of the scientist are. Hard working tax payers money and this is how they spend it.

    MEDICINE PRIZE

    : Masateru Uchiyama [JAPAN], Xiangyuan Jin [CHINA, JAPAN], Qi Zhang [JAPAN], Toshihito Hirai [JAPAN], Atsushi Amano [JAPAN], Hisashi Bashuda [JAPAN] and Masanori Niimi [JAPAN, UK], for assessing the effect of listening to opera, on heart transplant patients who are mice.

    PSYCHOLOGY PRIZE

    Laurent Bègue [FRANCE], Brad Bushman [USA, UK, the NETHERLANDS, POLAND], Oulmann Zerhouni [FRANCE], Baptiste Subra [FRANCE], and Medhi Ourabah [FRANCE], for confirming, by experiment, that people who think they are drunk also think they are attractive.

    JOINT PRIZE IN BIOLOGY AND ASTRONOMY

    Marie Dacke [SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA], Emily Baird [SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY], Marcus Byrne [SOUTH AFRICA, UK], Clarke Scholtz [SOUTH AFRICA], and Eric J. Warrant [SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY], for discovering that when dung beetles get lost, they can navigate their way home by looking at the Milky Way

    SAFETY ENGINEERING PRIZE
    The late Gustano Pizzo [USA], for inventing an electro-mechanical system to trap airplane hijackers — the system drops a hijacker through trap doors, seals him into a package, then drops the encapsulated hijacker through the airplane's specially-installed bomb bay doors, whence he parachutes to earth, where police, having been alerted by radio, await his arrival.



    PHYSICS PRIZE

    Alberto Minetti [ITALY, UK, DENMARK, SWITZERLAND], Yuri Ivanenko [ITALY, RUSSIA, FRANCE], Germana Cappellini [ITALY], Nadia Dominici [ITALY, SWITZERLAND], and Francesco Lacquaniti [ITALY], for discovering that some people would be physically capable of running across the surface of a pond — if those people and that pond were on the moon


    CHEMISTRY PRIZE

    Shinsuke Imai [JAPAN], Nobuaki Tsuge [JAPAN], Muneaki Tomotake [JAPAN], Yoshiaki Nagatome [JAPAN], Toshiyuki Nagata [JAPAN, GERMANY], and Hidehiko Kumgai [JAPAN], for discovering that the biochemical process by which onions make people cry is even more complicated than scientists previously realized.


    ARCHAEOLOGY PRIZE

    Brian Crandall [USA] and Peter Stahl [CANADA, USA], for parboiling a dead shrew, and then swallowing the shrew without chewing, and then carefully examining everything excreted during subsequent days — all so they could see which bones would dissolve inside the human digestive system, and which bones would not.


    PEACE PRIZE

    Alexander Lukashenko, president of Belarus, for making it illegal to applaud in public, AND to the Belarus State Police, for arresting a one-armed man for applauding.


    PROBABILITY PRIZE

    Bert Tolkamp [UK, the NETHERLANDS], Marie Haskell [UK], Fritha Langford [UK, CANADA], David Roberts [UK], and Colin Morgan [UK], for making two related discoveries: First, that the longer a cow has been lying down, the more likely that cow will soon stand up; and Second, that once a cow stands up, you cannot easily predict how soon that cow will lie down


    PUBLIC HEALTH PRIZE

    Kasian Bhanganada, Tu Chayavatana, Chum**** Pongnumkul, Anunt Tonmukayakul, Piyasakol Sakolsatayadorn, Krit Komaratal, and Henry Wilde, for the medical techniques described in their report "Surgical Management of an Epidemic of Penile Amputations in Siam" — techniques which they recommend, except in cases where the amputated penis had been partially eaten by a duck.




    Yet some people like to put scientist on a pedestal and think their work is infallible.


    The vast majority of scientific work is a joke.

      I like the way the kid is trying to establish himself as a gimmick poster.

      A one issue member, I.E. like One_Capitalist for example.

            OP You don't use radio, television, computers, modern medicine, vehicles, cell phones, et cetera? Because if you do then you're a ****ing hypocrite.

            Science is a joke huh, let us all go back to the plains of Africa to live as goat herders. Oh wait you probably don't believe humans migrated out of Africa... fossil evidence and genome analysis are a joke. Right?

              "The Ig Nobel Prizes are an American parody of the Nobel Prizes and are given each year in early October for ten unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research. The stated aim of the prizes is to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think." The awards are sometimes veiled criticism (or gentle satire). "

                  TS, is this the thread where you thought you would make up being utterly destroyed in your anti science what is the meaning of life thread?





                  You should have quit while you were behind.

                    You've got to be a fücking idiot to post this as a serious indictment of science and bold some of the blatantly satirical shít you had to bold for this post. I mean really man, if this was serious, you really ought to accept that you ain't very bright.
