http://swordswallower.net Harvard University - The 2007 Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine goes to Sword Swallower Dan Meyer, President of the Sword Swallowers Association Int'l, and Dr. Brian Witcombe, Radiologist Gloucester Royal Hospital, for their research paper "Sword Swallower and its Sdie Effects" published in the Dec 2006 BMJ British Medical Journal.

The Ig Nobel Awards are given each year for real research that "makes people laugh, and makes people think".

The team spent two years researching the surviving sword swallowers left around the world, and the resulting research paper with their findings was published in the December 2006 issue of the BMJ.
