The 2013 Ig Nobel Prizes: Drunk People Feel Sexy, And More Of The Year's Silliest Science | Popular Science

The Ig Nobel Prizes:

PSYCHOLOGY PRIZE
For: "confirming, by experiment, that people who think they are drunk also think they are attractive."

Reference: "'Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beer Holder': People Who Think They Are Drunk Also Think They Are Attractive," Laurent Bègue, Brad J. Bushman, Oulmann Zerhouni, Baptiste Subra, Medhi Ourabah, British Journal of Psychology, epub May 15, 2012.


ARCHAEOLOGY PRIZE
For: "parboiling a dead shrew, and then swallowing the shrew without chewing, and then carefully examining everything excreted during subsequent days — all so they could see which bones would dissolve inside the human digestive system, and which bones would not."

Reference: "Human Digestive Effects on a Micromammalian Skeleton," Peter W. Stahl and Brian D. Crandall, Journal of Archaeological Science, vol. 22, November 1995, pp. 789–97.
