Garrulous Glaahk Yuna Corne Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 That was my favourite one up until this gem: Quote: PEACE PRIZE: Arturas Zuokas, the mayor of Vilnius, LITHUANIA, for demonstrating that the problem of illegally parked luxury cars can be solved by running them over with an armored tank.

Ineffable Wingbolt Erebus the Black Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 It wasn't an actual tank though, it was more of an APV or an APC (Tanks can really do a number on asphalt roads). Which was kind of a let down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Quote: LITERATURE PRIZE: John Perry of Stanford University, USA, for his Theory of Structured Procrastination, which says: To be a high achiever, always work on something important, using it as a way to avoid doing something that's even more important. REFERENCE: "How to Procrastinate and Still Get Things Done," John Perry, Chronicle of Higher Education, February 23, 1996. Later republished elsewhere under the title "Structured Procrastination." I had a friend in the US Navy who used this theory years ago to avoid work. By postponing his required medical physical until the day his submarine was loading supplies to ship out he could avoid having to help move the supplies thus avoiding physical labor.

Garrulous Glaahk grasshopper Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 My fav is an old one: LINGUISTICS PRIZE: Juan Manuel Toro, Josep B. Trobalon and Núria Sebastián-Gallés, of Universitat de Barcelona, for showing that rats sometimes cannot tell the difference between a person speaking Japanese backwards and a person speaking Dutch backwards.
