how_would_i_know writes: "I've always suspected there was a coconut conspiracy... now there's proof. :-)" We might as well follow-up on our earlier story with a list of the IgNobel Winners. Stalin World! A study of glee! And of course, a true breakthrough, the solution to the shower curtain mystery.
michael, renowned slashdot meme-pimp, recently discovered a stash of CRACK underneath his bed. When asked about the quality of this controlled and highly illegal substance, his response was simply: "no!!! BAD MONKEY!!! MINE!"
Authorities believe this is a sign of the impending appocalypse, and due to the nature of their Iron Mountain bunker, could not be reached for further comment.

All this time I've had two questions about our modern world: 1. Where are the flying cars? 2. Where are the gas-masking ass shields? Finally, one has been answered. If only these were available 15 years ago. I shudder to think back to that night...the night that officially ended all roleplaying acitivites in my life. After years of nasal abuse at the hands (asses?) of the other role-players in the group, I finally had had enough. I remember going on a twenty minute tirade about what I referred to as "common, everyday, ass-hygienics and socially acceptable levels of ass-orchestration". I left the game and have never gone back. Even thinking about it now, my mind is assualted by olfactory memories of past-gas. Now, however, I know that there is hope for others, like me, who would like to play a game with a group of friends or just jaunt down to the local hobby store for a look around without being assaulted by free-floating-vaporous-ass-emissions. I think I'll make some flyers up about these drawers and strategically place them in various books at my local game shop. Maybe, in some small way, I can make a difference. The horror, the horror...
Robert Frost (1874-1963)
The Telephone
"When I was just as far as I could walk
From here today,
There was an hour
All still
When leaning with my head against a flower
I heard you talk.
Don't say I didn't, for I heard you say--
You spoke from that flower on the windowsill--
Do you remember what it was you said?"
"First tell me what it was you thought you heard."
"Having found the flower and driven a bee away,
I leaned my head,
And holding by the stalk,
I listened and I thought I caught the word--
What was it? Did you call me by my name?
Or did you say--
Someone said 'Come'--I heard it as I bowed."
"I may have thought as much, but not aloud."
"Well, so I came."

Anyways, this Warez history is on the Ig Nobel website too. Let's see if this makes it through the lameness filter. It's pretty funny.

I cannot, indeed, imagine a WTC of these. Would you care to elaborate?
