Get your dog some new nuts

Here's proof that people will spend mad cash on just about anything for their pets. Gregg Miller of Boston won an Ig Nobel award (laugh then think) for selling fake balls for neutered dogs.

Great quote... "Considering my parents thought I was an idiot when I was a kid, this is a great honor."

If I were neutered I would be pretty pissed to find out the spares don't really work

The Ig Nobel is not the same thing as the Nobel Peace Prize. It's more of a goof.

Wow. Some people are reeeaaally stupid for inventing such things, and others are reeeaaally stupid for buying them, but the dumbest of all are the ones who nominate them for the Nobel Peace Prize.
