Research on the time when animals urinate, or the benefits of intense kissing, are two of the 10 humorous scientific findings that won this year's Ig Nobel prize.

The Ig Nobel award ceremony, "honoring" the studies made people laugh but then had to think, September 17 took place at Harvard University, USA, in the 25th edition. Annals of Improbable Research is awarded, and is a parody of the prestigious Nobel prize.

The physics prize was awarded to the Georgia Institute of Technology team, with a study of animal urination time. Subjects of the study include mice, goats, cows and elephants. Using high-speed video analysis, they modeled fluid dynamics involved in urination and found that all mammals weigh more than three kilograms of bladder discharge over a period of time. 21 seconds.

The Chemistry Prize belongs to Callum Ormonde, University of Western Australia and colleagues with the invention of a chemical formula to revive a part of the egg.

Literary Prize belonged to Mark Dingemanse, Max Planck Institute of Psychology, Netherlands and his colleagues with the discovery of the word "huh?" (or equivalent) seems to exist in every human language but for unknown reasons.

The Management Award belongs to Gennaro Bernile, Singapore Management University. He and his colleagues discovered that many business leaders share a common characteristic of being adventurous from a young age and having experienced natural disasters (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, forest fires).

The Biology Prize belongs to Rodrigo Vasquez (University of Chile) and colleagues with the discovery that when adding a stick to the chicken tail, it will have a dinosaur-like gait.

The Economic Prize belongs to Bangkok police, Thailand, offering money to police who refuse to accept bribes.

The medical prize was awarded to Hajime Kimata (Kimata Hajime Clinic, Japan) and Jaroslava Durdiaková (Comenius University, Slovakia) and colleagues for their research on the biological benefits or consequences of intense kisses. paralysis (or similar intimate actions between people).

The Diagnostic Medicine Prize belongs to Diallah Karim (Stoke Mandeville Hospital, UK) and colleagues with the discovery of acute appendicitis that can be correctly diagnosed by a significant pain symptom when patients ride through the ledge. speed.

Physiological and entomology awards were co-awarded to two individuals. Justin Schmidt (Southwest Institute of Biology) is "honored" for Schmidt index invention (insect biting pain index) by biting many insects.
