結論：通過這種方法，醫生們在使用手術工具的時候更有信心，更冷靜，更平和。
「With our method, they learned to use the tools with great confidence and calmness and turned them into calm, pleasant, serene people,」 she said.
解剖學獎
ANATOMY PRIZE
Roger Mieusset 和 Bourras Bengoudifa監測了法國男性郵差在穿衣服和不穿衣服狀態下兩邊陰囊的溫度。
Roger Mieusset and Bourras Bengoudifa, for measuring scrotal temperature asymmetry in naked and clothed postmen in France.
結論：穿著衣服的時候，左邊的略高一籌。
According to his studies, the left one is warmer, but only when a man has his clothes on.
化學獎
CHEMISTRY PRIZE
日本科學家測量了5歲小朋友一天會分泌多少口水。
Shigeru Watanabe, Mineko Ohnishi, Kaori Imai, Eiji Kawano, and Seiji Igarashi, for estimating the total saliva volume produced per day by a typical five-year-old child.
注意了，試驗是在25年前完成的，對象則是自己的兒子!可以說，很有為科學奉獻的精神了!在頒獎現場，孩子們也來「複製試驗」：咀嚼香蕉(不要咽了)，然後吐出來稱重!
結論：五歲小朋友一天大約分泌500毫升的口水。
工程學獎
ENGINEERING PRIZE
Iman Farahbakhsh發明自動嬰兒換尿布機
Iman Farahbakhsh, for inventing a diaper-changing machine for use on human infants.
對於家長來說，可能如同大救星一般的發明了，雖然怎麼看都像個烘乾機、洗衣機之類。
經濟學獎
ECONOMICS PRIZE
Habip Gedik, Timothy A. Voss和 Andreas Voss研究了哪國的紙幣是傳播危險細菌的最佳媒介。
Habip Gedik, Timothy A. Voss, and Andreas Voss, for testing which country’s paper money is best at transmitting dangerous bacteria.
結論：羅馬尼亞的官方貨幣，「羅馬尼亞列伊」勝出!聚合物結構會使高耐藥病原體生長和傳播。
The researchers said Romanian leu include a polymer fiber to discourage counterfeiting and improve durability, which allows the growth and transmission of drug resistant pathogens.
不過科學家Voss貼心提示：用信用卡或電子支付可破解難題!而他自己幾乎不用現金了!
「Use plastic and electronic payment,」 he said via email. 「Actually, I hardly ever use cash anymore.」
和平獎
PEACE PRIZE
這些科學家研究的是：測量撓痒痒的舒適度
Ghada A. bin Saif, Alexandru Papoiu, Liliana Banari, Francis McGlone, Shawn G. Kwatra, Yiong-Huak Chan, and Gil Yosipovitch, for trying to measure the pleasurability of scratching an itch.
現場發痒痒撓的操作，效果拔群!
結論：這可就要分情況了!撓腳踝最爽，然後是後背和前臂。
As part of an international team, McGlone helped map out which parts of the body are most pleasurable to scratch. The ankles ranked highest, the researchers found, and then the back and forearm.
心理學獎
PSYCHOLOGY PRIZE
Fritz Strack曾經發現嘴裡叼著筆，會讓人變得開心——然而後來又發現，自己的研究並不成功。
Fritz Strack, for discovering that holding a pen in one’s mouth makes one smile, which makes one happier — and for then discovering that it does not.
結論：沒能重複自己的試驗，這樣的重大翻車事故在心理學方面肯定是有價值的……
物理學獎
PHYSICS PRIZE
一眾研究人員研究了為什麼袋熊便便是方的，又是如何形成的。
Patricia Yang, Alexander Lee, Miles Chan, Alynn Martin, Ashley Edwards, Scott Carver, and David Hu, for studying how, and why, wombats make cube-shaped poo.
其中來自亞特蘭大喬治亞理工大學的Patricia Yang 和 David Hu斬獲了二人的第二座搞笑諾貝爾獎盃!
Patricia Yang and David Hu, both engineers at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, celebrated their second Ig Nobel prize at the ceremony.
今年，他們和團隊一道研究袋熊的便便——這形狀在動物界也是獨一無二了。
This year, as part of a larger team, the two share the physics prize for working out how wombats make cube-shaped faeces. The feat, thought to be unique in the animal world, helps them construct stable piles of dung to mark their territory.
結論，方便便結構穩定，方便標記領地;而形成方形的關鍵，則在於腸道末端的形狀!
那麼，看完今年的搞笑諾貝爾獎，你的感覺如何呢?
