give out intelligence : After reviewing all 360 + award names , and debating vigorously over which one was the so - called downy , we ’ve at long last ( FINALLY ) made our decision . Because the following entries all made us smirk , the clever CAT behind them will be getting a gratis metric ton - shirt of their pick ( and size of it ! ) from the mental_floss shop .
As for the achiever , he ’ll be sire a humongous mental_floss prize pack along with endless bragging rights that mental_floss relied on his brain power to name their super cleverly titled award . Of course , those rights will also be transferable to his parent should his mom or pop also finger the demand to brag . While we ca n’t wait to disclose the full list of honour winner to you guys in next month ’s offspring , we ’re pretty certain you ca n’t wait to interpret who snagged a destitute shirt , so here goes :
Runner - Up 1 : Rosalie , with the uproarious name , THE FLOSCARS . Very cunning .
Runner - Up 2 : Andy ’s cleverly anagrammed title : The ATLAS FROWNS MEDAL ( switched up letters from the mental_floss award ) . If only you could have figured out how to fit that pesky underline in there , we might have gone with it .
Runner - Up 3 : Raymond N ’s genius idea for THE MENTAL " ˜WARDS . Really close , with this one , too .
And Runner - Up 4 : Al ’s really rum ( and slightly kiss - uppy ) playact off the founders ' names THE WELL MANGLED AWARDS . ( Al , if only you wangle to include the names Neely , Jenny , Toby , Melanie , Sandy , Kara , Barry , Winslow , Lexi and Jason in there too , you would have had a prospect ! ) . We like your thinking though , and it ’s exactly that kind of flattery that ’ll get you a t - shirt .
And of course , the bring home the bacon entry" ¦ .
The Richard F. Finknottle Prize in Thermodynamics , as suggested by mental_floss ' stave thermodynamicist , Richard F. Finknottle . Congratulations Richard!I’m kidding . We ’re actually survive with John ’s name : THE GOLDEN LOBES . congratulations to John Brown , all the offset - ups , and also to all the mass who made it all the mode through this post .
