Just found out about this today. It's kind of a scientific parody of the actual Nobel prize, and 10 awards are given out each year for ideas that "first make people laugh, and then make them think."
Here is the list of all the winners so far. It's a pretty long list, but some of them are pretty awesome. Here are some that I just found; post any others you may come across. Also make sure to check the titles of the research papers they wrote; they are often hilarious.
MANAGEMENT PRIZE: Alessandro Pluchino, Andrea Rapisarda, and Cesare Garofalo of the University of Catania, Italy,
for demonstrating mathematically that organizations would become more efficient if they promoted people at random.
BIOLOGY PRIZE: Libiao Zhang, Min Tan, Guangjian Zhu, Jianping Ye, Tiyu Hong, Shanyi Zhou, and Shuyi Zhang of China, and Gareth Jones of the University of Bristol, UK,
for scientifically documenting fellatio in fruit bats.
VETERINARY MEDICINE PRIZE: Catherine Douglas and Peter Rowlinson of Newcastle University, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK,
for showing that cows who have names give more milk than cows that are nameless.
MEDICINE PRIZE: Donald L. Unger, of Thousand Oaks, California, USA,
for investigating a possible cause of arthritis of the fingers, by diligently cracking the knuckles of his left hand — but never cracking the knuckles of his right hand — every day for more than sixty (60) years.
CHEMISTRY PRIZE: Javier Morales, Miguel Apátiga, and Victor M. Castaño of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México,
for creating diamonds from liquid — specifically from tequila.
THE TEQUILA IS NOW DIAMONDS!!!
