LONDON -- Remember that guy that decided being a human is Roman Perez Jr. Archivesoverrated and created special prostheses that allowed him to live among mountain goats in the Alps for three days?
Absolute legend, right?
Well, this hero is finally receiving the acclaim that he deserves.
In September 2014, UK-based designer Thomas Thwaites decided to forego his bipedal existence in order to fully immerse himself in both the cognitive and physical aspects of a goat's life. He has written about his experiences in a novel: GoatMan: How I took a Holiday from Being Human.

Thwaites told Mashable, "It’s an honour, genuinely, to get an Ig Nobel”.

The late Ahmed Shafik of Egypt won the reproduction prize for his work to understand the effects of wearing polyester, cotton, or wool trousers on the sex life of rats.
The peace prize was awarded to a group of U.S. and Canadian scholars who conducted a study entitled: "On the Reception and Detection of Pseudo-Profound Bullshit".
Swede Fredrik Sjöberg took home the literature prize for his three-volume autobiographical work about the pleasures of collecting flies that are dead, and flies that are not yet dead.
