The 31st annual Ig Nobel Prize awards were just handed out. These are awards that are given to the most ridiculous advances in science and other academic fields each year.
A few of them are:
Researchers who tested the hypothesis that humans evolved beards to protect themselves from punches to the face.
Researchers who conducted experiments to find whether it is safer to airlift a rhinoceros upside-down rather than right-side-up. To be clear: That's safer for the rhino not humans!!!
Researchers who conducted experiments to learn why pedestrians do not constantly collide with other pedestrians.
AND a different team of researchers who looked into why pedestrians sometimes do collide with other pedestrians.
Read here to see all the science!

Forget candy, Hidden Valley Ranch is selling treat-sized packets of ranch dressing to give out to trick-or-treaters this year.
Each packet has a half-ounce of ranch. That's half of what they consider a normal "serving size."
They're selling them in bags of 30 on HiddenValley.com. Each bag costs $20, plus $7 shipping. So almost a dollar per packet.
I'm hoping to find the house that is giving out the full bottles.

People are now huffing the fumes from onions because they think it kills the coronavirus.
Memes claiming it's true have been circulating on Facebook, especially in Asia.
They say to cut an onion in half, cup it against your nose and mouth, and take a series of deep breaths. But there's zero evidence it actually does anything except make your eyes water and your breath stink. Come on..how gullible are we?

Tiffany Haddish and Common aren't engaged, but if he does propose, she does not want a ring, she wants an apartment building.
She said, quote, "Come at me with a deed, baby, don't come at me with a ring. Because if you're trying to buy my life and change my last name to your last name, a ring ain't gonna do it, we can get the ring after you get the building."
Tiffany said Common is aware of her request and thinks she's crazy for it. But she said it's smart because, quote, "a marriage is a union of two businesses and the whole point of coming together is to grow yourselves. But also grow a family and make sure they have something to inherit. If you get an apartment building that will increase in value, if we get sick or something, we'll have something to cash out and be able to take care of ourselves."
