BBC News => “’Gay Bomb’ scoops Ig Nobel award”

Oh sure, everyone else is celebrating the military’s so-called gay bomb or the hamster on Viagra, but let’s hear a raucous round of applause for Taiwan, where this Ig Nobel award came from:

Economics – Kuo Cheng Hsieh of Taiwan for patenting a device that can catch bank robbers by dropping a net over them.

I’m not entirely sure why that was awarded for economics rather than law enforcement or live-action cartoons, though.
