The 2005 Ig Nobel Prizes

Every year in October Harvard University recognizes bizaare and unsual science that is funny but makes you think too!

The Igs are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative -- and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology.

Here are the 2005 award winners
