I was about to go to sleep, and then I saw this. Which, uh, dubious congratulations to Obama and everything, but I think his true legacy will be preserved through gestures like the following:
I learned about this from someone who passed me in the hallway while talking on the phone to someone else. Trufax. >.<
Macro is awesome, although - blew up the moon? Is that a reference to something? O.o
Um, anyway... yeah. I have to say I don't... really care? Like, I have never before cared or even known about who won the Nobel Peace Prize in a given year, I don't see why I should start now. I just hope he lives up to it, I suppose.

You bet it is! In a stunning coincidence, on the same day Obama won the Nobel NASA bombed the moon with two satellite missiles, creating a six-mile-high explosion in an effort to find out whether there's water and/or ice hidden in the deeper darkness of its craters. The experiment had been largely publicized as 'NASA blowing up the moon', which created some controversy what with the moon being an international resource, and NASA not having any right to blow it up per se.
Still didn't stop Obama from authorizing the experiment, though. :D Which leads to the above macro. (source, source)
I hope he lives up to it as well. This is odd, since I've never particularly cared about who wins the prize beforehand, but ever since watching Stargate: Atlantis and hearing Rodney McKay talk INCESSANTLY about winning a Nobel I think the prestige of the prize has gone up quite a bit for me. XD

I am a big fan of Nobels, but the Peace one's already been kind of a joke for a while and this... makes it even more so.
