This was something I read on the improbable website run by our friends at the Ig Nobel Prizes. It was made by Scott Carver and Robert Ross. I think an honoured student called Elizabeth Brown as well. That's right. This was at the University of Tasmania. This is a really interesting thing, right? I've written to Dr. Carver and he's given me lots of information. This is incredible.
