Precisely two categories….

If you recently tuned in just for
Nobel-Prize-family-backstage-surprises
blogging–or if you’re an old reader who wouldn’t mind hearing less
about Nobel Prizes–well, this situation categorically reminds
me of a joke I once wrote for Absolute Zero Gravity:

  1. According to Fields Medalist Enrico Bombieri, there are three kinds of mathematicians: those who can count, and those who can’t.
  2. I happen to believe that people can be divided into precisely two
    categories: those who believe that people can be divided into precisely
    two categories, and those who don’t.
  3. If you agree with me, let me ask you this: which category is Bombieri in?

But I digress. If you are a Nobel-only reader, you can avoid the rest of this blog by subscribing to the RSS feed for its just-Nobel-gossip posts. If you prefer Nobel-free blogging–well, as they say for New England weather changes, just wait a while…
