#4 "The university did not explain what Obama had done to earn the award".....

Obama got a Nobel for the same standards. Remember?
But then, he was the Messiah and the smartest man in the room and he did send a tingle right up your leg as far as your butt. But then, he has a Legacy that will last down the Centuries.

And the Univ. of Illinois ? Can you spell SHILL, boyz and girls?

#9 Henry Kissinger's 1973 Nobel Peace Prize. I agree with Tom Lehrer on this -- there are things that are so absurd that you can't match Reality with any Fiction you invent...

#10 Interesting, I saw a similar TheRAPIST joke on Saturday Night Live (Connery on Jeopardy skit) decades after the Python version.

#12 Who the hell would you award it to?

Anybody who writes good papers, doesn't use grad students as cheap labor, and behaves as a human being in general.
