I'm an avid reader of "The Register" website, as I like its tongue-in cheek humour. Every year, they publish the winners of the IgNobel Prize, for reasearch that first makes you laugh and then makes you think.

This year, Antoine Fardin has gone above and beyond with "On the Rheology of Cats", rheology being fluid dynamics, the science of how things flow. Having just downloaded the PDF of "The News and Information Publication of the Society of Rheology, Volume 83, number 2, July 2014" and read the article (starts on page 16, and continues on page 30 of the PDF) published on his investigations into "Can a Cat Be Both a Solid and a Liquid?", well, IMHO it's hilarious, the more so for being written straight-faced, so to speak.
