Yes, Tipsters with physics envy should be getting really
frustrated now that Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov
have won the 2010 Noble Prize in Physics; see:
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2010/10/2010-physis-nobel-prize-reaction-round-up/1

However, Andre Geim, as noted at the end of the above article,
had previously won the 2000 IgNoble Prize for research that
involved levitating frogs -- don't take my word for that, the
IgNoble Prize folks seem delighted to shout Geim's praises;
see:

So, who will be the first psychologically oriented Nobel Prize
winner to also win the IgNoble Prize?
