- defrost 4mo agoYes. Its aim is to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think". ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ig_Nobel_Prize https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ig_Nobel_Prize

- MrBuddyCasino 4mo agoInteresting. Somehow I never see people referencing them in this spirit, but that may be more on those people than on the price itself, perhaps.
