I so desperately miss the dungeon. SIGH! Not only is there no more 'squirrels of doom' thread and no 'Darwin Awards' thread but there are no IG Nobel prizes thread either. Anyway, this year's IG Nobel went to a team listening to aligators breathing helium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_XX0FnVsXY Personally I miss the bra/gas mask. That was an idea before its time. |

How do you tell if a politician is lying?
His lips or pen are moving. |
