Ig Nobel Prizes Awarded at Harvard for Stopping Nosebleeds With Pork And Other Research

Who knew Harvard had a sense of humor? The winners of the 2014 Ig Nobel Prize -- not to be confused with The actual Nobel Prize -- do. Scientists were honored at Harvard University on Thursdsay for their "silly sounding scientific discoveries." Winners of the awards studied how to use pork to stop nosebleeds, whether owning a cat depresses you, and whether banana peels are actually as slippery as cartoons depict them to be.
