2011年诺贝尔奖揭晓仪式将于10月3日起陆续举行。按照诺贝尔奖评选的传统规定,官方历来不公布经济学奖的候选名单。可是,你知道诺贝尔奖的姐妹——搞笑诺贝尔奖吗?今年上榜的“幸运儿”有哪些呢?
  The Ig Nobel Prizes are an American parody of the Nobel Prizes and are given each year in early October for ten unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research. The stated aim of the prizes is to "first make people laugh, and then make them think". Organized by the scientific humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), they are presented by a group that includes Nobel Laureates at a ceremony at Harvard University’s Sanders Theater, and they are followed by a set of public lectures by the winners at MIT.
  The name is a play on the word ignoble ("characterized by baseness, lowness, or meanness") and the name "Nobel" after Alfred Nobel. The official pronunciation used during the ceremony is /ˌɪɡnoʊˈbɛl/.It is not pronounced like the word "ignoble" [iɡ’nəubl]. The first Ig Nobels were held in 1991 by Marc Abraham.
  The prizes are presented by genuine Nobel laureates, originally at a ceremony in a lecture hall at MIT but now in Sanders Theater at Harvard University. It contains a number of running jokes, including Miss Sweetie Poo, a little girl who repeatedly cries out, "Please stop: I’m bored," in a high-pitched voice if speakers go on too long.The awards ceremony is traditionally closed with the words: "If you didn’t win a prize — and especially if you did — better luck next year!"
  The ceremony is co-sponsored by the Harvard Computer Society, the Harvard-Radcliffe Science Fiction Association and the Harvard-Radcliffe Society of Physics Students.
  Throwing paper airplanes onto the stage was a long-standing tradition at the Ig Nobels, changed at the 2006 ceremony because of "security concerns".[citation needed] In past years, physics professor Roy Glauber has swept the stage clean of the airplanes as the official "Keeper of the Broom". However, Glauber could not attend the 2005 awards – he was traveling to Stockholm to claim a genuine Nobel Prize in Physics.
  In 2010, Andre Geim became the first person to receive both the Nobel and an individual Ig Nobel prize.
