Maybe Castro Needs the Nobel Peace Prize

I was on the fence about wanting to win, say, the Nobel Peace Prize, but this surely changes that: You get to live two years longer!

New research at the University of Warwick in central England shows that scientists who have won the prize for their work in chemistry and physics not only get cash and kudos but they live two years longer than colleagues who have only been nominated.

"Status seems to work a kind of health-giving magic. Once we do the statistical corrections, walking across that platform in Stockholm apparently adds about two years to a scientist's lifespan," Professor Andrew Oswald said.
