Ig Nobel Prize
The Ig Nobel Prizes are a parody of the Nobel Prizes and are given each year in early October - 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." Organized by the scientific humor journal Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), they are presented by a group that includes genuine Nobel Laureates at a ceremony at Harvard University.
1999 award:
Science Education - Presented to the Kansas State Board of Education and the Colorado State Board of Education, for mandating that children should not believe in Darwin's theory of evolution any more than they believe in Newton's theory of gravitation, Faraday's and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, or Pasteur's theory that germs cause disease.
- и ведь очень логично.
