Ig Nobel awards: the power of panda poo

The Biology prize of Ig Nobel awards (the 2nd best Nobel prize) this year, was shared by Fumiaki Taguchi, Song Guofu and Zhang Guanglei of Kitasato University graduate school of medical sciences in Japan for demonstrating that kitchen waste can be reduced by more than 90% by using bacteria extracted from giant panda excrement. Taguchi suspected panda faeces must contain bacteria capable of breaking down even the hardiest of foods because of the bear's vast consumption of bamboo.

What a easy logic!
