Has the Nobel prize gone to the dogs

As a people, have we really gone down as a society when we are awarding NOBEL prizes for a guy who has invented and is selling fake dog balls for dogs? I mean have we really regressed as a nation when the only inventions worth mentioning are prosthetics for neutered dogs?

That's pretty much all that I can say at the moment. Unbelievable.

maybe "as a society" we should read the articles before we post them?

"The Ig Nobels, given at Harvard University by Annals of Improbable Research magazine, celebrate the humorous, creative and odd side of science."

My bust. My english teacher acuses me of the same thing - not reading through before I comment. Bad habit. You know I am at work, so I usually pop open yahoo and chekc out the lastest stories. I admit I didnt read all the way through. I just skimmed. My bad.

HOWEVER,

with all that is needed in the world - somebody decided to use their mental power to come up with a prosthetic for dogs to still have their dealies there?



As a society, we got our joint crooked, we need to get our priorities straight, especially if we are maxing out credit cards and going broke to make fake balls for dogs

It is still some funny stuff
