Biology: A Swedish team won the biology Ig Nobel for demonstrating that wine experts can reliably identify, by smell, the presence of a fly in a glass of wine - possibly sparking a new genre of jokes involving sommeliers. Literature: This year's Literature Prize was for an investigation into instruction manuals that come with consumer products. The Investigation was called, Life Is Too Short to RTFM: How Users Relate to Documentation and Excess Features. "RTFM" is an acronym for "read the field manual", though, according to the researchers, it has gained a new meaning by consumers who are often frustrated by the complexity of operation of their product. --- FFXIV: Herzog Erislieb (Cactaur) | ESO: @Ultima_Vyse RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/99 FISH/99 Cook ...

But did Trump win one? Obama won one and he didn't do anything.

Dunning-Kruger won the Ig Nobel in 2000 IIRC, and what they discovered was legitimately important lol.

Yeah I mean the Ig Nobels are legit pieces of research that do have some actual benefit to someone, regardless of how absurd they sound >_>. --- FFXIV: Herzog Erislieb (Cactaur) | ESO: @Ultima_Vyse RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/99 FISH/99 Cook ...
