A British man who lived in the Alps as a goat for three days has won one of this year's Ig Nobel prizes.
Tom Thwaites had special prostheses made so he could walk like an animal.

My local Free Government TV station gives me, ‘The Dog Whisperer’ on Saturday mornings. I want to SHOOT the vast majority of those pet owners!
I don’t know how he resists, but day-um, he’s got himself a lifetime gig helping the idiots that are allowed to have dogs!
Well if that isn’t the strangest thing?! Ah yes... the “esteemed” Nobel prize. I wouldn’t wipe my ass with it after they jointly awarded it to that Egyptian terrorist Arafat in 1994.
