Default Nobel prize winner is a glider pilot

Oliver Smithies, along with Mario Capecchi and Martin Evans, was awarded
the *2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine* on Monday.

Oliver Smithies flies a Grob 109B motorglider out of Chapel Hill, North
Carolina, USA, and is an SSA member. Apparently, glider pilots CAN be a
credit to their community if they put their minds to it!

Congratulations, Oliver!
