In this season of Nobel Prize announcements, we celebrate the recipients of the Ig Nobel awards. Given for research that "first makes people laugh, then makes them think," the Ig Nobels this year include research on why spaghetti breaks into multiple pieces, why dung beetles are really finicky eaters, and how high pitched sounds can be used to alert or repel teenagers with no effect whatsoever on adults.
Read about the Ig Nobels and be amazed at the breadth of human curiosity.
