Since being reminded about these from the coke thread. I thought some of you guys may be interested in previous winners of these awards
So here a link to all the winners of all catagories from 1991.

without checking the link i'd assume it'd due to larger breasts due to hormones etc?

My Favourite so far

LITERATURE: Glenda Browne of Blaxland, Blue Mountains, Australia, for her study of the word "the" -- and of the many ways it causes problems for anyone who tries to put things into alphabetical order.

it does annoy me TBH.

 

[Captain Mike]

AVIATION: Patricia V. Agostino, Santiago A. Plano and Diego A. Golombek of Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, Argentina, for their discovery that Viagra aids jetlag recovery in hamsters.

I would love to know how that expiriment started.

[Captain Mike]

LITERATURE: The Internet entrepreneurs of Nigeria, for creating and then using e-mail to distribute a bold series of short stories, thus introducing millions of readers to a cast of rich characters -- General Sani Abacha, Mrs. Mariam Sanni Abacha, Barrister Jon A Mbeki Esq., and others -- each of whom requires just a small amount of expense money so as to obtain access to the great wealth to which they are entitled and which they would like to share with the kind person who assists them.

To the first question probably not, and the second I would think so just probably don't wear them professionally!

The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one.

Me neither... I'm at work it would be a tad uncomfortable someone catching me looking at that stuff
