Btw, this year's Ig Nobel prize in Literature went to a group
of genuinely hardboiled guys.
"The Internet entrepreneurs of Nigeria, for creating and then
using e-mail to distribute a bold series of short stories,
thus introducing millions of readers to a cast of rich
characters -- General Sani Abacha, Mrs. Mariam Sanni Abacha,
Barrister Jon A Mbeki Esq., and others -- each of whom
requires just a small amount of expense money so as to obtain
access to the great wealth to which they are entitled and
which they would like to share with the kind person who
assists them."
