This prize is no more significant than if it were found in a box of Cracker Jacks.

I hope at least the other eight deserved their awards, No wonder their are so many "Ollie" and "Lena" jokes.

The premise of this article is ridiculously flawed. The science and economics Nobel prizes are a totally trailing indicator of research prowess, as they are usually awarded for work done between 20 and 35 years previously. Yes, the US had a premier science funding environment in the 70's and 80's. And that's what the Nobel prizes (aside from Obama's) tell us. And NOTHING more.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Aries

It's one of those days when you'd be wise to mind your Ps and Qs if you want to avoid putting both feet in it or feeling like a fool. The trouble is that you're finding it hard to think before you speak, and you're rushing into situations without thinking about the possible consequences. All you can do is to apologize and try your hardest not to let it happen again.
