All the anniversary events
Sep. 22nd, 2012 11:04 pmThe summer has officially ended by I still managed to get that one last swim today before it gets to cold. But end of summer is also the time for the Ig Nobels. The 22nd First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony was conducted on Thursday and you can go and watch it all (including real Nobel laureates hoping pointlessly to join the exclusive club of people who won both awards, people painted in silver and the reaction to the world "Universe").
If you don't have the time for the whole 2 and half hours ceremony the list of laureates is here. My favourite this year is the Neuroscience Prize for people who have shown that brain researchers, by using complicated instruments and simple statistics, can see meaningful brain activity anywhere — even in a dead salmon.
Fraggle Rock is about to be 30 years old and Lisa Henson and Chris Hardwick got the Fraggles and Ben Folds Five to make a video together.
The Hobbit became 75 yesterday and before the first film comes out here is something that needs to be seen to be believed. If I'd ever taken drugs I would think I'm on them as fandoms collide and Spock sings about Bilbo Baggins.
