95-year-old Queen Elizabeth II has received many awards, but this October she turned down a very unusual one, the ‘Oldie of the Year’, claiming that she does not feel old enough for the prize.

The Ig Nobel Prize, a spoof on the name of the more famous Nobel, is given annually to scientists and researchers who investigate the most unusual issues in various fields. It’s both a light-hearted and a serious prize, as it aims to reward research that “first makes people laugh and then makes them think.”
