    Think you can win an Ig Nobel?

    I've got a genius idea for an Ig Nobel prize! Want to read my subject... it's pure genius!

    THE EFFECT OF MUSIC ON THE TETRIS PLAYING ABILITIES OF OSTRICHES.

    So? What do you think? Is this brilliant or not?

    Post all your whacked out crazy ideas in here!

    **Warning: It works better after a severe blow to the head if you can spare the blood!

    Who the hell voted for option 5!?

    Wasn't me! 8-[

    But, if you didn't want anybody to answer with that, why post that option?

    I voted for Tyson only because there wasn't a Musashi dressed as a woman in a blue wig with grapefruit anatomy posing as a martial arts expert.

    I am going to study the correct temperature to chill Diet coke so it will always be refreshingly cool without causing any of the tastes or carbonation to be lost.


    Plus I will also study on the side the effect of the Sun's rays on a nerd. :-)

    If I were you I would work on making the Diet coke lose all of its flavor since it tastes horrible!

    That will have to do since "Juxtabranchial organ secretions in the higher mollusks" also comes to mind, but I stole that one from a Doonesbury comic strip I read several years ago. [-X

    I live in a town that is home to a recent Ignobel Prize winner: one Troy Hurtubise (Mr. Project Grizzly). The sad thing is that he still brags about his Iggy like it was a real honor, he really doesn't get it.

    "But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
    -- Carl Sagan

    ...and whenever I see Troy I point and laugh, too.

    No no no, my point is that because I know you, you do not scare me.

    How about a poll on what people think about polls?

    Do test tube babies have a love/hate relationship with their tea services?

    Not how many, but how FAR can those woodchucks really chuck that wood??

    If there are an infinate number of monkies on those typewriters, where is all the paper going to go if the universe is finite in scope?

    Interesting. But wouldn't those seven be the ones that are not trying? Speaking hypothetically, of course.

    You mean they'd be encouraging or asking for someone to kill me?

    That's much much worse!

    Call me a strict constructionalist, but it would seem that those seven would be directing their comment to whomever (!) set up the poll. I'm assuming that'd be yourself, and it's probably just the normal reaction to all polls in general, so I wouldn't worry about it.
