Australians win 2003 Ignobel for Physics for Ergonomics Research!

The award was for a paper titled An Analysis of the Forces Required to Drag Sheep over Various Surfaces (click here for a copy of this paper).  The work was about the safe design of shearing sheds.

How the hell does one stumble upon this stuff? Did you search in google for "sheep" and "drag" perhaps?
