Media of the day

The 29th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony has been held on Thursday, September 12th at Sanders Theatre at Harvard University. It introduced ten new Ig Nobel Prize winners. Each winner has done something that makes people laugh then think. Winners traveled to the ceremony, at their own expense, from around the world to receive their prize from a group of genuine, genuinely bemused Nobel Laureates, in Harvard's historic and largest theater.
