parody of the Nobel Prize
originally for discoveries "that cannot, or should not, be reproduced."
winners the first year included [Mike Milken], [Dan Quayle], [Edward Teller], and the inventor of Beano
now for ten achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think."
roughly half the winners actually attend the ceremony
