"While some politicians were trying to make sensible things sound crazy, scientists discovered some crazy-sounding things that make a lot of sense," says Marc Abrahams, master of ceremonies.
The winners received a transparent box containing historic items related to Murphy's Law, along with a nearly worthless Zimbabwean $10 trillion bill, marking the whimsical tone of the ceremony.
The ceremony commenced with Kees Moliker, earlier Ig Nobel winner, delivering humorous safety instructions, demonstrating that the event thrives on mixing comedy with scientific absurdities.
The event showcased various absurd but intriguing studies, from using pigeons to guide missiles to analyzing the swimming abilities of dead fish, highlighting the intersection of humor and science.
