Pig: Hey, PHysicist Phil. How goes it? Phil: Spectacular... I just found out I won this year's nobel prize in physics. Goat: Oh my goodness, that's great, Phil. Do your fellow physicist at the university know? Phil: No. I imagine they don't... I suppose I should call and inform them. Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyaaaah nyah. Goat: Physicists are very immature.

Why not? O’Bama got his Nobel Prize with much less worthy jibber-jabber. An extreme insult to all the more deserving prize-winneing induviduals of the past. Simply sad.
