Check out this video where a guy with wheels all over his body beat a motorcycle in a race down a mountain. Pretty dramatic. Note: the motorcycle has a motor. The guy just has a lot of wheels attached at strategic parts of the body: Video: Human bobsled vs. motorcycle
Spermicide Coke, stale chips research wins Ig Nobels
A researcher who figured out that Coke explodes sperm and scientists who discovered that people will happily eat stale chips if they crunch loudly enough won alternative “Ig Nobel” prizes Thursday.
Other winners included physicists who found out that anything that can tangle, will tangle and a team of biologists who ascertained that dog fleas jump farther than cat fleas.
I <3 the ignobles.
