It is certainly not regarded as shameful if one wins it, maybe even the opposite. He tried to make a possible case for nomination by creating a mini sperm collider in which sperms meet each other head on and collide (it didn't work). If I remember rightly, there are more than 1000 nominations for the prize each year, so it is competitive. | |

Secondly, I do not count Ig Nobel as shame but as fun; take, for example, the last Nobel Prize in physics.$$ $$ J.C., your example is a real record, no doubts! | |
