IgNobel Prizes awarded

I love the Ig Nobel awards, they’re always good for a laugh. The 2005 awards were handed out a couple of days ago. It sounds like they had [a really great time](http://www.improbable.com/ig/2005/2005-details.html)  with lots of events, music and even a short opera.

Winners include:

* Locust research using Star Wars

* An experiment running since 1927

* Obsessive-compulsive food cataloguing

* Clever alliteration involving penguins
