Gay Bomb Wins Ig Nobel Prize

The Pentagon’s gay bomb plot made the world laugh out loud. And they’ve been honored for bringing so many smiles:

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…

The Pentagon and their gay-baiting scientists won the “peace” category.
