Often, thinking seriously about outlandish problems is the only way to make progress in science. Marc Abrahams, the founder of the famous Ig Nobel prizes, offers an addictive, wryly funny expose of the oddest, most imaginative, and just plain improbable research from around the world. The rest of the time, it s hilarious.
He also shares the findings of weird experiments, from whether Vegas lap dancers earn higher tips at a certain time of the month to how mice were once outfitted with parachutes to find a better way to murder tree snakes. He looks into why books on ethics are more likely to get stolen and how randomly promoting people (rather than doing it based on merit) improves their work. Abrahams tour through this strangest of strange science will first make you laugh, and then make you think about your world in a completely new way.
