What the bleep do we know

My brother showed me "What the bleep do we know" last week and I finally got around to checking on the claim that 4000 transcendental meditators lowering the crime rate in Washington DC and found that, indeed, I had heard about it winning a 1994 Ignobel prize though I haven't actually found the corroborating research which apparently showed the violent crime rate to have risen. In general I found it unpersuasive because it kept making claims for things that I felt I had heard/read of as being debunked.
