I'm sorry folks, but this doesn't make any sense.


Heheheh...I was hoping this would give the righties apoplexy...and it is.


Wouldn't it be nicer, though, if he had actually had the time to EARN
the recognition? Why be in such haste?


It's just a payoff for celebrity... Nothing more.


It's crap like this that reduces the respect given for *any* Nobel
Prize. The prize is no longer the mark of achievement it once was.
Whether it bothers 'righties' or not is beside the point. It's obvious
the Nobel Committee has reduced its standards to 'be a celebrity'.

Damn shame, but quite humorous.
