I won't pontificate on the award, since every other blog seems to be doing so. The cartoon above seems to sum up the situation...
Many years/decades ago I heard a story about the Nobel prizes that went something like this:
A man travels to Stockholm to receive his prize. When his turn comes and the King of Sweden presents him with the medal, he says "In this case, your majesty, I believe your committee has chosen someone quite undeserving of such an award." Expecting to receive a few comments back on his great achievements, he is surprised when the king, tired of false modesty, wearily replies "Well, that sometimes happens."I have no idea whether that story is true or not. I have been unable to locate it at any authoritative source. It seems a little "too good to be true," so it may be entirely apochryphal - but it's still a good story.
