The Ig Nobel prize is rewarded to a bit odd and funny research that still have scientific merit. This year’s winners included studies of for example how wrestling with a crocodile affects gambling and why old man seem to have bigger ears.

I keep checking my ears from birthday to birthday to see if they are exponentially larger. So far so good. I've seen some whoppers on some old birds!

Ears only grow about 2 millimeters per decade according to the study, so thankfully it's not a acute problem. Also it's the same both for men and woman, woman just usually have more hair to cover the ears.

You can also learn from the studies made by the Ig Nobel prices awared scientist. Like for example that if you have an itch on the left side of your body, you can relieve it by looking into a mirror and scratching the right side of your body (and vice versa).
