Nobel laureate: Buy a bike.

I was listening to an interview this morning with Didier Queloz, one of this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics. The interviewer noted he had won a lot of money and asked if there was anything the new laureate would buy. Quoting from memory: "I had a problem with my bike this morning. Maybe I'll buy a new bike."

Response 1. Shades of Einstein, perhaps? "I thought of that while riding my bicycle."

Response 2. I may not have won a Nobel this year, but maybe I'll buy a new bike too.
