Why didn't you get a Nobel Prize this year?
Well, it never occurred to me that the infinite number of monkeys I had typing up
my results for publication would generate an infinite number of typos.


Anyone else?

29. Because I'm not a scientist, a distinguished author, or a guy* who
throws out a lot of mathemetical formulas that pretend to explain the economy in conservative terms?

*No woman has ever won the Nobel in Economics (which is bogus anyway, since it was established in 1968, decades after the other prizes in medicine, chemistry, physics, and literature).
