After doing much hard scientific research could you come up with some significant results where you could be awarded the Ig Nobel Prize?

Eg. Some weird scientific facts about cats, secret formula for manufacture of tildes, etc.

Ig Nobel prize- a satire prize awarded annually since 1991 to celebrate 10 unusual, trivial or totally weird achievements in scientific research; its stated aim being to "honor achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think". The name of the award is a pun on the Nobel prize which it parodies and on the word ignoble ( not noble).

    I like to laugh and then think. Humor is quite a useful gift, I think!

    Sure it is! Research has indicated that being cheerful (if and when a person can be) that the benefits are a more robust immune system for one thing which is a stronger defense against flu, colds, covid, well.. like combatting any kind of sickness.
