Introduction

The ignobeles are a series of awards given out once a year by a scientific humor journal called the annals of improbable research. The stated purpose of this of these wards is to quote, honor achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think. Last year there was a prize in the material science category for research in whether you could make a knife blade out of frozen feces. No matter how hard you freeze em t they just don't really cut.
