  • The Nobel Ig prizes this year. My favourite is the Literature one: “Ireland’s police service for writing and presenting more than fifty traffic tickets to the most frequent driving offender in the country — Prawo Jazdy — whose name in Polish means ‘Driving License’“. Almost as good as the Nigerian Literature Ig winners a while ago. At the same time, the Economics Ig for ’09 is somewhat forced; the whole Icelandic population should have gotten it: as we know, they were all into banking until rather recently.
  • Writing from Schiphol, after almost 11 hours return flight from Tokyo. Detailed impressions in due time. Now boarding again.
