Improbable Blog
The folks behind the Ig Nobel Prizes are blogging: Improbable Research: What's New. Stephen Nipper highlights two of this year's Ig Nobel winners — the Combover Patent; the scientific validity of the Five-Second Rule — in this week's IP Memes. It's worth noting that Howard University freshman Jillian Clark, responsible for the landmark research on the safety of dropped food, is the youngest ever Ig Nobel recipient. At this writing, 74% of those participating in CNN's Five-Second Rule poll pick those Cheerios right back up and pop 'em down the hatch.
