TED Talks to feature two Ig Nobel Prize veterans

Two Ig Nobel Prize celebrities are in the  lineup for the 2013 TED talks, which was announced today:

Kees Moeliker , who was awarded the 2003 Ig Nobel Prize winner in biology for documenting the first scientifically recorded case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck.
Amanda Palmer , who performed as a singer (and once as a wedding prop) in several Ig Nobel Prize ceremonies.

Both are known for doing other things, too (and both have helped organize several Ig Nobel Prize ceremonies). Here are video glimpses of a mere single aspect of each of them:

The TED Talks will run from February 25 to March 1, in Long Beach and Palm Beach, California.
