It's an interesting idea, but I doubt it will every catch on. A folding pocket gas mask would make more sense.

Remember when the Nobel Prize used to mean something?
And the runner up was basically a study on how likely beer bottles are to break? |

They are more for comic purposes; the Ig Nobel Prize is a parody. I think they broadcast them yearly too on public radio.

The Ig Noble prizes are specifically for stuff that might be cool, interesting, or useful, but would never be feature in the noble prizes.

Well shit. I didn't realize these were the Ig Nobel prizes. That makes me feel a bit better.
Thanks for the heads up |
