Whiz of the Web: Monday Meat Slices

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.

• Read about the winners of this year's Ig Nobel Prize, "the annual award given by the Annals of Improbable Research magazine for oddball but often surprisingly practical scientific achievements." It turns out Coca-Cola is a spermicide, and strippers make more money when ovulating. (Via Sarah)
• Today's bunch of political links: Colbert and Shakespearean scholar Stephen Greenblatt discuss the parallels between the presidential candidates and Shakespearean characters; a clip from an upcoming Simpsons episode explores the horrors of voting; Sarah Palin as a Garbage Pail Kids card; an amusing Obama pin; the rest of the world chooses Obama by a landslide; Spout picks the ten coolest film presidents (and makes some pretty questionable choices); and finally, Defective Yeti's new site (which will begin playing audio immediately, btw) celebrates a particularly appropriate gaffe by McCain's pick for vice president (via).
• Heh heh. It's Megatron vs. Indiana Jones! Well, really Megatron vs. Shia LaBeouf. And Iron Man. And... well, the point is, it's a funny video. (Via Jill)
• Fox is seriously thinking about rebooting Daredevil.
• SEGA says MadWorld is currently undergoing some fundamental changes to its control scheme.
• Joystiq finally got its grubby little paws on the upcoming Wii FPS, The Conduit. Their description of the experience seems mostly positive. Meanwhile, you can take a look at the game's first level here.
• Joystiq also has coverage and photos of the E for All video game convention.
• Nintendo says it doesn't want to immediately replace the DS Lite with the DSi in the US. The company wants both consoles to coexist for a time, to allow the DS to reach its full potential.
