October 7, 2007 /
The 17th annual Ig Nobel prizes, presented Thursday night at Harvard University’s Sanders Theatre,. recognize research that makes people laugh and then think. This year?s prizes were awarded for scholarly efforts such as developing a way to extract vanilla from cow dung and studying what makes sheets wrinkle.
