En-to-tre og vupti! SÃ¥ har du en Nobel Pris

- det er ihvertfald sådan Reasons Jesse Walker har sat det op i en særdeles underholdende artikel, der har denne vidunderlige indledning:

In the last decade, Al Gore has won the triple crown: an Oscar, a Nobel Peace Prize, and (this is disputed) Florida. Now, winning an Oscar is hard—you usually have to pretend to be handicapped, or speak with a semi-convincing English accent, or spend hours in an uncomfortable period costume. And Gore himself would have trouble telling you how to claim the Sunshine State. But the Nobel Prize is easy. The important thing to remember is that peace doesn’t have much to do with it. One of the very first winners was Theodore Roosevelt, a man who described the Spanish-American War as “fun.”
