The Ig Nobel Prizes are a parody of the Nobel Prizes
and are given each year in early autumn — around the time the
recipients of the genuine Nobel Prizes are announced — for ten
achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think."
The name is a play on the words ignoble and "Nobel." Sponsored by the scientific humor journal Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), they are presented by genuine Nobel Laureates, formerly at a ceremony in a lecture hall at MIT, but more recently at a ceremony in Harvard University's Sanders Theatre each fall.
