Nobel prize winners as artists

Nobel prize winners are asked to draw the thing that they were awarded the Nobel Prize. To convey to us regular people what they are talking about. Show us please.

They had no idea they would be asked to do such a thing, no preparation at all, just spring it on them. They were veritably accosted for a spontaneous interview at a gathering of like-minded people, taken to a small room with a board and asked to draw their ideas, and they kindly oblige.

I wish they'd asked Barry to draw his peace prize winning dealie.

He could've held up a blank piece of paper I guess. And said he'd worked harder than he'd ever worked in his life. Or something.

Not every batter hits a home run, is the takeaway.

The two women scientists are wearing sandals. Coincidence?

And the men were wearing shirts with buttons! It's all part of the plan. The cunning, cunning plan.

Yeah...a really really really smart guy (and he is) who says we need more alternative and nuclear energy is absolutely a jerk just because he was energy secretary for a bad potus.

Chu's higher price policy for hydrocarbons (and it was deliberate) helped and continues to help put brakes on the economy.

Too bad the participation rate for prize winners was so limited. It was a good idea.

BHO's prize could be depicted by three simple elements which also function like a simple subject, verb, predicate.

Draw a shining star on a hill (subject);
add an arrow (verb);
leading to a black hole (predicate).

Obama could draw an off gas pilot.

Nobel prize winners are not the most interesting guys in the room.

No, he's a jerk because he was a bad energy secretary.

He could have resigned long ago if he didn't like the Gang's policies.

But nice to see you admit Choomie is a lousy POTUS.

At TOP there is talk of poker as analysed by means of game theory. Bet that Aussie bloke Russel Crowe couldn't draw game theory.


Aussie bloke.

No, I don't recall you being all that anti-Zero.

And maybe it's your head up the ass."

Then, Madame, it's obvious you don't pay attention or are just making shit up for the sake of it.

It would have been a self-portrait.

But you could ask him to draw a picture of Whistler's Mother and still get a self-portrait.
