Designers of a bra that turns into gas masks and a team who found that named cows produce more milk were among the winners of the 2009 Ig Nobel prizes.
The aim of the awards is to honour achievements that "first make people laugh and then make them think".
...The Ig Nobel Prizes were presented to the winners by genuine Nobel laureates.Dr Elena Bodnar won the public health prize for the bra that, in an emergency, can be converted into two gas masks.
She demonstrated her invention and gave one to each of the Nobel laureates as a gift.
reminds me of the joke - what do you get when you cut 100 bras in half?
200 yarmulkes with chin straps.
