The 34th Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony at MIT

The 34th Ig Nobel Prize ceremony was held at MIT - a humorous analog to the Nobel Prize for unusual and amusing research. The chemistry prize went to Dutch scientists for devising a method to separate drunk worms from sober ones; the physiology prize went to Japanese researchers who discovered that many mammals can breathe through their anus; and the physics prize went to an American for studying the swimming capability of a dead trout. The probability theory prize was awarded for proving that a coin lands on the same side it started on in 51% of cases after being flipped 350,757 times.
