AIRheads

The fun science mag, Annals of Improbable Research (AIR for short) (http://www.improbable.com/), presents awards called the Ig Nobels each year to scientists whose oddball research brings them joy. Prizewinners included the researcher who found the first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck and the Stockholm University scientists who penned the report, "Chickens Prefer Beautiful Humans". Wired News has the full story at http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,60676,00.html/wn_ascii. The real Nobel Prizes will be progressively announced this week at http://www.nobel.se/.
