A Japanese doctor was recognized Thursday with an Ig Nobel prize, which honor comical but practical scientific studies, for devising the most comfortable colonoscopy technique by using himself as a test subject.

Well, if only to find their heads.
A practice done routinely in certain coastal metro areas, though with rather less focus on medical discovery.
