Re: Ig Nobel awards
Heh... this year's awards are entertaining, as ever.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Did you mean the Belarus Police?Commander McLane wrote:Presumably the Ukrainian police know the answer—does it mean that they're enlightened now?

Re: Ig Nobel awards
An experiment that hung rhinoceroses upside down to see what effect it had on the animals has been awarded one of this year's Ig Nobel prizes.
Strangely enough, this had real value and is of benefit to rhinos which need transporting.
I like the Biology Prize:
Biology Prize: Susanne Schötz, for analysing variations in purring, chirping, chattering, trilling, tweedling, murmuring, meowing, moaning, squeaking, hissing, yowling, howling, growling, and other modes of cat-human communication.
