More Prestigious? Nobel Prize vs. Time Man Of Year?
Usually in society, which one "sounds" more prestigious?
I know there's only one 'Man of the Year' and five Nobel Laureates per year, but then again, who actually reads Time Magazine? Former 'Man of the Year' recipients include Winston Churchill and Harry Truman, but also include Obama and Hitler. Nobel Laureates tend to be more academic based, no?
So, put on your best elitist/snobbish hats and tell me, which one is generally regarded as more prestigious? What are the exit-ops like? I'm really trying to figure out which one to shoot for
thx
I was Time Magazine Man of the Year 2006. So were you.
I'm pretty sure Obama has gotten both. I guess he wins.
Lets not get into that. Whole other shitstorm.
I know. I was being sarcastic/trying to be a dick to the OP because I think its a stupid topic in the first place.
Troll? Why'd you copy that other thread? HMMMMM....
I would say nobel prize.
why? trying to decide which one to apply for lol?
What's more prestigious? Being in the mile high club or winning a bronze medal in the olympics?
Totally depends on the sport. Curling, speedwalking mile high club
Considering both awards go almost exclusively to huge tools, I'd have to say the Nobel because at least that one comes with a million bucks.
time man of the year is a fucking joke
nobel prizes aren't all equal. the only ones worth winning are physics, chemistry and medicine.
nobel "peace" prize = nobel prize for politics nobel "literature" prize = nobel prize for politics
and don't even get me started on the economics "nobel" which is not a nobel prize at all. it is the bank of sweden prize for statist fiscal and monetary oppression.
nobel prize
The January 4, 2011 $380M "Mega Millions Jackpot" prize for me, thanks.
You guys just reminded me. An old guy I worked with at my first firm wrote a book and self-published it (this was looong before self-publishing had any respectability). The book was truly awful, and I wouldn't have read it at all had he not divulged in it at one point that he'd boned one of our hot secretaries.
Anyway, this guy nominates himself for the Nobel prize for literature. Obviously the Nobel committee wouldn't wipe their asses with this execrable tome, but it didn't stop him from printing "Nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature" on the cover of the book.
These old school boiler room guys never cease to amaze me.
If you don't mind, what is the title/premise of the book?
That shit is hilarious though.
Banished to the Ribbons of Concrete
And when I looked it up again I realized he nominated himself for the Pultizer, not the Nobel. My bad. lol

I declared myself eligible for the NBA draft after my sophomore year in university. Didn't matter that I never played organized ball after 8th grade.
Economics.
taking the prestige wars to a whole new level...
Interesting
Nobel Prize over Man of the Year---I consider Man of the Year to be political bullshit (Putin, really?) while the Nobel prize at least requires some kind of meaningful contribution. And by the way, a few more dead terrorist leaders and Obama may actually deserve the Peace Prize.
Mile High Club over bronze metal
YOU CRAZY DUDE? Economics is the biggest joke of them all. Anyone- point me to a single Econ Nobel whose work profoundly changed the world.
Paul Samulson, 1970: popularized Keynesian economics in the american mainstream; hundreds of CEO's, policy makers, and central bankers first learned of economics through him or his work.
Friedrich Hayek, 1974: Published the road to serfdom and reinvigorated classical liberalism. He had meetings with both Thatcher and Reagan.
Milton Friedman, 1976: Modernized monetary theory, countered fiscal policy, developed statistical methods, successfully argued for turning the military into an all-volunteer composition, advised Pinochet's new economic policy for Chile.
Robert Solow, 1987: Developed the solow growth model of which nearly all economists use in some form or another to measure long term economic growth
William Sharpe, 1990: Developed or created several methods for valuing options or measuring risk-adjusted performance of trading strategies
Ronald Coase, 1991: Authored "The Nature of the Firm" and "The Problem of Social Cost". Which forms the basis of the property rights argument
John Nash, 1994: Made huge strides in game theory. The applications of which affect a range of fields.
Myron Scholes, 1997: Co-authored Black-Scholes. 'Nuff said.
Do keep in mind that these are only the most apparent examples.
lol owned
there is change, and change for the better. only hayek did more good than harm out of these academic scribblers.
"Banished to the Ribbons of Concrete"? LOL sounds like the sequel to "Faster than the Speed of Love" .

Edmundo, the negative reviews by vengeful women on that site are hilarious! But it looks like he lived quite an interesting life.
Yeah, Jack was a piece of work. I gather from some of the reviews that he's been trolling online dating sites and getting to know women just to sell his book. Hilarious.
I'd take the Fields Medal over both.
@Canas, beat me to it, I'd take a Man Booker over a Nobel Prize in literature. It's so political look at how they froze Gallo out in '08. Hell there are enough controversies it has its own rather lengthy wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize_controversies
Nobel Prize is a no-brainer here. You get $1 million, you are INTERNATIONAL news, and it's generally respected. I can't think of one good thing about Time magazine.
Threesome with two 10s or foursome with two 7s and a 6.
Is this a serious question? I would take one 10 over those. Have you seen what a 10 is?
How about just sex with 1 10, or a threesome with 2 7s. Now theres a question..
threesome with two 10s in a heartbeat...
Haha Eddie, look at those reviews. Some real winners in the crowd: "For weeks I read Banished to the Ribbons of Concrete snugguled up in bed. The author Jack Vink and I became very close as I went along with him on his ride into hell. I liked his writing style as it is so descriptive you can't help but get tangeled up in his web of despair. "
