A parody of the Nobel Prizes, the Ig Nobel Prizes are awarded each year in mid-September, around the time the recipients of the genuine Nobel Prizes are announced, for ten achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think".
Os Premios Ig Nobel son unha parodia dos Premios Nobel que son outorgados cada ano a principios de outubro a dez logros que "primeiro fan á xente rir, e despois fana pensar".
