  • Anatomy: Roman Khonsari, for finding that there is a greater instance of scalp hair spiraling in a counter-clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • Biology: Fordyce Ely and William Petersen, for finding that placing a cat on the back of cows and repeatedly exploding paper bags every 10 seconds for two minutes led to them producing less milk.
  • Chemistry: Tess Heeremans, Antoine Deblais, Daniel Bonn and Sander Woutersen, for their use of chromatography to separate drunk and sober worms as part of their research into polymer science.
  • Botany: Jacob White and Felipe Yamashita, for finding that the plant Boquila trifoliolata can mimic the leaves of plastic plants placed alongside it, leading them to conclude that “plant vision” is plausible.
  • Demography: Saul Newman, for finding that many claims regarding the existence of supercentenarians and other extreme age-related records originate from areas with short life spans, no birth certificates, and rampant clerical errors and pension fraud.
  • Medicine: Lieven Schenk, Tahmine Fadai and Christian Büchel, for finding that counterfeit medicine that induces painful side-effects can be more effective in patients than counterfeit medicine that does not cause painful side-effects.
  • Peace: B. F. Skinner, for his study on housing live pigeons inside missiles to guide them to their targets.
  • Physics: James Liao, for his long-running study on the ability of a dead trout to swim.
  • Physiology: Takanori Takebe, for finding that several mammals can breath through their intestines using their anus.
  • Probability: A team of 50 researchers mostly based in the Netherlands, for supporting a prediction by Persi Diaconis that tossed coins are more likely to land the same way up as they started after they had flipped 350,757 coins.

Wake Up Song of the Day:    Eric Clapton “I Shot the Sheriff”.   It’s the Friday Flashback Song!   We “Flash Back” in 10-20-30-40-50-60-70 year increments to find Number One Songs at this time that are still remembered today, along with the artists and groups that perform.   Or, Number One Songs that are long forgotten, along with the artists and groups that perform.

It was 1974 when Eric released his cover version of this song that became his only #1 song.   The original was reggae singer Bob Marley and the Wailer’s version from 1973, though it did not chart.   Eric added soft rock with the reggae sound and the popularity of the song is credited with helping reggae reach a mass audience.   Bob Marley said the original title was supposed to be “I Shot the Police”, but the government would have made a fuss so I changed it to “I Shot the Sheriff”.   A third version was done by Warren G and released in 1997.   That version charted #20.

Eric’s version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
