I don't like the way that they've became sort-of politically correct, and gone to "These awards are for things that first make people laugh, and then make them think", from

"These awards are for idiotic scientists who do stupid, pointless experiments. Sort-of the scentific equivalent of the Rasberry Awards (which are awarded for really bad movies)"

[SamECircle]

@SinnFein4ever I disagree. These scientists aren't idiotic, they're just silly. One of them (an ig nobel winner for making ducks levitate) won the NOBEL PRIZE for doing exactly the kinds of crazy things ig nobel winners win for (he was applying duct tape to pencil lead). And who says something weird is something "stupid"? I mean, saying that is like calling all the people who put on the igs stupid. Sorry, did I rant? I think I ranted. tl;dr. Heh.

Loved Paul Krugman's nanosecond 7 word explaination of economics. "Greedy people make the world go round."

That's when the little girl in the audience should've shouted "Please Stop, I'm Bored."

(that's considered common knowledge)
