Maybe it's no accident that freaks frequently win the Nobel Prize:

> Best known for inventing dynamite and creating and funding the Nobel Prizes, Alfred Nobel was also a playwright, though his work has (perhaps justifiably) gone unstaged–until \[December 10, 2005\]. In Stockholm, on the same day that Nobel's prizes are distributed, a small theater will stage his play Nemesis. The four-act anti-capitalist tragedy, suppressed as blasphemy in its time, features rape, incest, chemically induced visions of the Virgin Mary, and a forty-minute torture scene. Even the theater's director admits, "It's not Strindberg."
