...with worms...it didn’t work.” Ig Nobel Laureate and former Leverett House resident Francis M. Fesmire ’81 was also present. Fesmire won an award in 2006 for a medical study on “digital rectal massage for intractable hiccups.” Standing with a “Dr. Fran’s Anti-hiccup Kit” in hand, Fesmire makes a less-than-stellar sales pitch for his own product. “I have no desire to ever try it again” says Fesmire...

Still, although it's an exercise in pretend democracy - or maybe precisely because it is that - China's government marks the occasion with considerable pomp and ceremony, scores of scarlet banners rippling in the breeze over Tiananmen Square, along with lots...
...freaked out because your computer might hiccup this weekend as it copes with the premature arrival of Daylight Saving Time? Be thankful you weren't screaming across the Pacific Ocean in the U.S. Air Force's newest jet, the $330-million F-22 Raptor. Six of the jets - that's $2 billion worth of air power - had taken off from Hawaii en route to Japan when several of their computer systems went haywire and literally could not tell what...
