"The board and officers of the American Nudist Research Library did not attend the 2004 Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony at Harvard University this past week. None of them, apparently, could find a thing to wear. That's too bad, because the library, in sun-kissed Kissimmee, Florida, won this year's Ig Nobel prize for literature, "for preserving nudist history so that everyone can see it," said Marc Abrahams, director of the hilariously cornball annual awards ceremony, and editor of The Annals of Improbable Research, or AIR, a magazine that pokes fun at real, but offbeat, research," reports Wired News.
"The 2004 Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony was presented by Abrahams, who wore a top hat and was surrounded by actual Nobel laureates and can-can dancers. He billed the event as "honoring achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think."
