  • The 2011 Ig Nobels



    The ceremony was last Thursday. This year's winners are at the top of the page, just thought I'd call it to everyone's attention. I'd actually already heard of some of them (the bottle-humping beetles were mentioned in The Onion once), but I have to say, the Mayor of Vilnius really earned his prize.

      Where is the "run over people with tank" option in SimCity?

        SC2k. Build a large city, save, run riots through it until it's all fire and rioters. Eventually, your police & fire stations will all be demolished, and you'll be able to send in the national guard.


        Alternatively, call in a couple of hurricanes, and poof. No more rioters or fire.

          I don't remember the national guard in 2k, but I played it many many years ago.

            John Perry of Stanford University, USA, for his Theory of Structured Procrastination, which says: To be a high achiever, always work on something important, using it as a way to avoid doing something that's even more important
            Personally I think this is sound advice

              The Greek government didn't receive an Ig Nobel for Economics???
              There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

                Heh, my Mayor may have outdone himself. But there's certainly fewer people parking on biking lanes, that's for sure.
