The invention of Welshman Howard Stapleton of a device which claims to repel teenagers, has won this year's peace prize at the Ig Nobels - a spoof version of the real Nobel prizes. According to the BBC, the device makes a high-pitched noise that is annoying to teenagers but is inaudible to adults.

The IgNobel, a humorous take on the Nobel prizes, was awarded to research work on stinky feet, a study on the sound of fingernails on a blackboard and a device that repels teen-agers with an annoying high-pitched hum to name a few. "The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honour the imaginative -- and spur people's interest in science, medicine and technology," said Marc Abrahams, editor of the science humor magazine "Annals of Improbable Research," which sponsors the awards.
