IgNobel Awards Test: Which One of These is False?
A dung beetle
Something a bit different for our geography quiz for Friday. In fact, you could call it an "Oh, gee-whiz" quiz instead.
Each year, the IgNobel awards spoof scientific research and achievements that "first make people laugh and then make them think."
Okay, mostly laugh, if the awards handed out Thursday night are any indication.
With some of these projects it's hard to separate fact from fiction.
But that's exactly what we are asking you to do.
The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, the reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
When you make a gift of $10 or more a month, we’ll invite you to a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of our newsroom to thank you for being with The World.
