The winning entry, Why Does My Peep Smell Like Asparagus?

My personal favorite, the Wizard of Oz diorama.  Oh yes, the Yellow Brick Road is made of microwaved Peeps.

Peepettes:

KISS Tribute Peepss:

And finally, Peep Market Montgomery, which requires some prior viewing to truly appreciate how funny it is.

Original recipe NyQuil D has to be purchased behind the counter, which is amusing: why make meth out of something that will mess you up so nicely on its own?  If you aren’t familiar with the Lewis Black quote which serves as my title, go listen to it.

200 feet of wrapping paper – about $12.
Wrapping a coworker’s entire cube in that paper and putting the contents of his desk under the Christmas tree – priceless.

The rest of the photos are here.

I can’t take credit for this creative effort, but isn’t it fabulous?  This is our team entry for the pumpkin decorating contest at work.

She follows in the pawprints of Tenzing, who was also featured on the site.

I laughed.  Did I think?  Maybe.

My favorites this year:

• NUTRITION PRIZE. Massimiliano Zampini of the University of Trento, Italy and Charles Spence of Oxford University, UK, for electronically modifying the sound of a potato chip to make the person chewing the chip believe it to be crisper and fresher than it really is.
• BIOLOGY PRIZE. Marie-Christine Cadiergues, Christel Joubert,, and  Michel Franc of Ecole Nationale Veterinaire de Toulouse, France for discovering that the fleas that live on a dog can jump higher than the fleas that live on a cat.
• PHYSICS PRIZE. Dorian Raymer of the Ocean Observatories Initiative at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, USA, and Douglas Smith of the University of California, San Diego, USA, for proving mathematically that heaps of string or hair or almost anything else will inevitably tangle themselves up in knots.

The physics prize, in particular, is very relevant, as anyone who has ever handled a pair of headphones already knows.

I think the 2007 awards had more flair, but still.
