As mentioned on Improbable Research's website:

> We collect improbable research. Real research, about anything and everything, from everywhere. Research that’s maybe good or bad, important or trivial, valuable or worthless.

There's typically a few serious research papers included each year.




In all fairness there was a prize for research about cows caloric intake based on amount light and temperature or something like that.

It sound stupid, but this research was used by farmers to plan amount of food and condition for cows during winter.

So just because the research topic sounds funny it doesn't meant that it is useless.
