The scientist’s whacky research was based on the premise that they had to make people laugh.

Johannesburg -Upside-down rhinos, secret cat human language and orgasms that clear nasal passages – it all had to do with award winning science where the winners became instant dollar trillionaires.

This year’s winners for the transportation award were a team of researchers from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Brazil, Tanzania, UK and the US. Other research that got the judges laughing was that of Susanne Schötz of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who won the biology prize for analysing the variations “in purring, chirping, chattering, trilling, tweedling, murmuring, meowing, moaning, squeaking, hissing, yowling, howling, growling, and other modes of cat–human communication”.

The economics prize went to Pavlo Blavatsky, for “discovering that the obesity of a country’s politicians may be a good indicator of that country’s corruption”.
