researchers have won an Ig Nobel prize for discovering that mammals can breathe through their anuses.

Is the idea of breathing through your anus any more silly than the idea of breathing through your swim bladder?

It would seem, from the article, that the research is all about a way of providing Oxygen during respiratory failure. If it works, it may be deserving of a Nobel prize.
I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I don't have to respect your beliefs.
