Because people were talking about it earlier...

This was on the October 4, 1999 Chronicle of Higher Education's daily
news
email, (and thus will probably be in the printed version this week or
next
week).  I think you can only read the web-based version if you have a
username/password, though.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY'S SCIENCE-HUMOR MAGAZINE, the "Annals of
   Improbable Research," last week awarded its ninth annual Ig
   Nobel Prizes, a spoof on the Nobel Prizes. Genuine Nobel
   laureates were present at the ceremony in Cambridge, Mass.,
   to bestow prizes upon 11 people and 3 institutions for
   achievements that "cannot and should not be reproduced."
