Amazing! There should be more scientists like these... perhaps we can start out own little project and get simv nominated for next year... any idea's guys?

suggestion one: an investigation on the collateral damage caused by malmalade and sauerkraut ammo and the ecologic and economical importance of this matter on the world-economy...

I have to agree on the literature-price! They make it a point of honor to share their work with almost the entire world-wide-web-community...  ;D
