• Pitch drop experiment
  • The 2005 Ig Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Mainstone and Thomas Parnell of the University of Queensland, Australia for patiently conducting an experiment that began in the year 1927 in which a glob of congealed black tar has been slowly, slowly dripping through a funnel, at a rate of approximately one drop every nine years.
