My favorite is the Anatomy Prize awarded to Frans de Waal (Netherlands/US) and Jennifer Pokorny (US) for discovering that chimpanzees can identify other chimpanzees individually from seeing photographs of their rear ends.
I wonder if this could be applied to humans. I can envision a killer iPhone app for this: Turds with Friends.

Maybe you should create that app!
