Hello, CHs. Tucked down at the bottom of page 32 of Discover magazine, Dec
99, is an article about the Ig Nobel winners: The Ig Nobel Prizes, for work
that 'cannot or should not be reproduced' are awarded each year by the
editors of the 'Annals of Improbable Research'. Paul Bosland of NM State
got the Biology prize for breeding a spiceless Jalapeņo. Other prizes went
to researchers who looked into the area of which type containers patients
chose for collecting urine samples, and to a State for removing Darwin's
theory from required curriculum. This is a much abbreviated version of the
article; untrained typost, you know. Avowed or not, there must a chile-head
on that staff that agrees with most of us.
