The 2013 Ig Nobel Prizes

The 2013 Ig Nobel Prizes are out. Best ones:
  • The Medicine Prize, for "assessing the effect of listening to opera, on heart transplant patients who are mice"
  • The Psychology Prize, for "confirming, by experiment, that people who think they are drunk also think they are attractive"
  • The Physics Prize, for "for discovering that some people would be physically capable of running across the surface of a pond — if those people and that pond were on the moon." 
  • Finally, the Peace Price, to the "president of Belarus, for making it illegal to applaud in public, AND to the Belarus State Police, for arresting a one-armed man for applauding."
