Damn The Tin Drum, the Ig Nobel Prize list for this year has been announced. Top winner: A guy who patented a centrifuge to aid baby delivery (Mercury News article on the baby delivery centrifuge). Alas, I can't find any details on one of the physics awards to Jean-Marc Vanden-Broeck, a mathematician who has apparently calculated how to make a teapot spout that doesn't drip, which was my goal back when I threw clay regularly.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
