Does alcohol enhance one's foreign language fluency? Do West African lizards have a preferred pizza topping? And can painting cows with zebra stripes help repel biting flies? These and other unusual research questions were honored tonight in a virtual ceremony to announce the 2025 recipients of the annual Ig Nobel Prizes. Yes, it's that time of year again, when the serious and the silly converge—for science. Established in 1991, the Ig Nobels are a good-natured parody of the Nobel Prizes; they

Here's Why You Really Taste Wine Before a Server Pours for the Table

Wine service can feel intimidating if you're not experienced with the ritual. The swirling, sniffing, and polite approval after that small initial pour might seem like theater or a simple taste test. However, that preliminary sample serves a specific purpose: verifying the wine's quality. The initial pour allows you to detect whether the wine has spoiled. Bottles can occasionally deteriorate due to poor storage conditions or defective corks, resulting in what's known as "corked" wine. This flaw

No, Nintendo and Pokémon did not patent ‘summoning characters and making them battle’

As first noted by Games Fray last week, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company were granted a US patent earlier this month involving summoning characters and making them battle. Headlines popped up with similarly vague language as concern spread on social media: That’s a thing in tons of games! Can they do that? Is that even allowed? Well, no, because that’s not exactly what they patented. And what they did patent might not stand up to any hypothetical challenges in court. The patent in question, US
