And now we know the real reason so many Asians don't win the Nobels: the whole Nobel committee is composed of idiots.

And we thought this was a creativity problem.

One might as well get it over and done with. Otherwise for the next four years the Nobel commitee will always be harrassed with - How about Obama the successor to Jesus ? By preempting this the commitee members gain some sleep.

Better yet, a firm "no" wold would have worked better.

The precedent was set with MLK receiving the Nobel Peace prize.

On a related note, take the MLK quiz here.

Unexpected.

Yet, after giving it to Yasser Arafat and friends, it should not be.

The Nobel committee should eliminate the Peace prize.

Thinking about the lady who won the Chemistry Prize I think there should be a prize in biology. I'm not belittling her achievements, but I think that biology has grown so much over the last century as to warrant its own prize.

Lew Rockwell's site put together a list of people that Obama beat out to win the Nobel.
