Paul Krugman has won the Nobel Prize for economics this year. I didn't realize that, on top of writing a column twice a week for the NYT, he is a professor at Princeton.

Gotta love this part:
“For readers of the column, maybe they will read a little more carefully when I’m being economistic, or maybe have a little more tolerance when I’m being boring.”

Yes, yes I probably will.

Fun personal fact: my parents bought our house from another Nobel laureate in economics. He got it, like, fifteen years after we got the house, but still. Brush with Nobel glory!

They're secretly terrified of a mob wielding giant swiss army knives! They can't help it!

Did you just confuse the Swedes with the Swiss? Shame!

I did. Sue me. I haven't had lunch, I've been working all day, and I'm cranky. I can be bothered to care than the Swiss aren't the Swedes some other time.
