IgNobels: neuticles get the recognition they deserve

Gregg Miller mortgaged his home and maxed out his credit cards to mass produce his invention -- prosthetic testicles for neutered dogs.

What started 10 years ago with an experiment on an unwitting Rottweiler named Max has turned into a thriving mail-order business. And on Thursday night Miller's efforts earned him a dubious yet strangely coveted honor: the Ig Nobel Prize for medicine.

"Considering my parents thought I was an idiot when I was a kid, this is a great honor," he said. "I wish they were alive to see it."
Here's a great site with excellent dog neutering pictures, including the installation of neuticles. Priceless.

And the next greatest canine invention since Neuticles? Honda's dogmobile prototype!

  1. I think your obsession with dog testicles is a little unhealthy.

  3. I once almost purchased these to be a really mean gag gift. But they were a little pricey for that purpose.
