Ig nobel prizes were just a few days ago:

Edit: The splash free urinal was the winner for physics!

I once joked that these do more for science than Nobel prizes. Now I don't think it's a joke: "wacky but interesting" awards are more important for the advancement of science than "everyone agrees this these people should be even more famous" awards.
