It's that time of the year, fall, oh fall. The leaves change colors, the rain picks up, school has kicked into full swing (even on the west coast), and of course, a certain committee in Oslo has anounced who shall receive the worlds' most coveted "intellectual" prizes. I am, of course, referring to the Nobel prize, whose winners have been announced; congratualations to those folks whose hard work and dedication have earned them a place amongst the Nobel Laureates.
