If you like weird science, you'll love the Ig Nobel awards, given out each year to examples of the oddest, weirdest and goofiest scientific research, from a stress analysis of the strapless evening gown (that's where the image is from) to a study titled "Termination of Intractable Hiccups with Digital Rectal Massage."
(If you were listening closely, you would have heard a reference to this topic in a recent episode of "House.")

I'll be interviewing Abrahams today for a future Wired News Q&A. Got a question for him? Drop it in the comments.
