Pioneering research into a "gay bomb" that makes enemy troops "sexually irresistible" to each other has scooped one of this year's Ig Nobel Prizes.
Other winners included work on treating hamster jetlag with impotency drugs, extracting vanilla from cow dung, and the side-effects of sword swallowing.
The awards, founded in 1991, mark achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think".
The prize ceremony took place at Harvard University, US.
Genuine Nobel Laureates handed out the much-coveted awards to the winners, who took away no cash, but instead received a hand-made prize, a certificate, and, of course, the glory of such an illustrious win.
Now I’ve got The Gap Band’s “You Dropped a Bomb on Me” song stuck in my head.
Seems like a good tv sketch.
HOMOAB
sorry, my hamster is just going to have to suffer
I ain’t sharing
Hmmmm. I guess if one can be “turned” gay then homosexuality is not genetic. Maybe there should be some serious thought into creating an anti gay bomb.
Need more coffee because my mind's eye was misreading that.... I suddenly starting envisioning hamster jetpacks.
Hmmm, Hamturo: the Next Generation . . .
The only weapon the San Francisco City Council would endorse.
*snrk* Good one!
The Gay Bomb could be a gentle means of defeating the enemy by dropping its population to near zero.
On the other hand, the Hetero Bomb could convert, say, San Francisco into a well adjusted city and, in its minibomb version, offer a treatment for the gender confused.
It might even help places like Russia whose future is threatened by depopulation.
The Chinese might want to look into this technology as a means of population control. I'm sure the Clintons could get it for them.
