Annals of Improbable Research - Home of the Ig Nobel Prize

Improbable Research makes people LAUGH, and then makes them THINK. The Annals of Improbable Research (also known as AIR) is a science humor magazine, full of genuine, improbable research culled from more than 10,000 science, medical, and technical, and academic journals, with some deadpan concoctions stirred into the mix. We administer the Ig Nobel Prizes, given each year for achievements that make people LAUGH, and then make them THINK.
