People around the world will laugh themselves silly tonight as they watch an event, at a major university, that is guaranteed to entertain.
No, we’re not talking about the vice-presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis. We’re talking about the Webcast of the 2008 Ig Nobel Ceremony at Harvard University.
The event, produced by the science-humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research, will take place at 7:15 p.m. at Harvard. It will honor research that first makes you laugh, then makes you think.—Don Troop
