According to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, the more chocolate that a country consumes, the more Nobel laureates it produces:
The Swiss, of course, lead the pack, closely followed by the Swedes and the Danes. The U.S. is somewhere in the middle and the nation would have to up its cocoa intake by a whopping 275 million pounds (125 million kg) a year to produce one more laureate, said Franz Messerli, who did the analysis.
"The amount it takes, it's actually quite stunning, you know," said Messerli, who runs the hypertension program at St Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York.
Obviously, we should eat as much chocolate as possible. Tonight, I will, for the good of my country, contribute. Dulce et decorum est pro patria edere.

Congratulations Steve and Brian.
Jim, even if you didnt get the printer it looks like you won already, congrats.
But seriously... A rubber duck!
Sure, it's a "celebrity" rubber duck. From a 20 year old movie.
I didn't expect a big prize... I did expecta little more than a rubber duck which can also be found at my local 99 cent store.
Indeed, I was going to comment on how long before someone starts crying about what they received. Sounds like jealousy envy to me, perhaps they shouldn't have the pictures of the big winners.
Brian it looks like youre an actor on the set of a television show or film that takes place in a generic windowless office
