Reading in another post. That Loosewire want to institute the famous "Loosewire Prize" http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/showthread.php?t=74770
That kind of reminded that the The 2012 Ig Nobel Prize Winners are up. Many golden nuggets here. My favoritte is without no doubt this outstanding work in the LITERATURE PRIZE:
The US Government General Accountability Office, for issuing a report about reports about reports that recommends the preparation of a report about the report about reports about reports.
In second came this work
PSYCHOLOGY PRIZE: Anita Eerland and Rolf Zwaan [THE NETHERLANDS] and Tulio Guadalupe [PERU, RUSSIA, and THE NETHERLANDS] for their study "Leaning to the Left Makes the Eiffel Tower Seem Smaller"
