Instead of congratulations\*, who would join me in saying THANK YOU, Prof. P, for doing MUCH MORE than your share in keeping us entertained, (slightly) out of trouble, and (possibly) helping us be less ignorant?  
\*After all, he didn’t win any money, a new car, or a HOT STRIPPER WIFE, did he? 😃

Well, I haven’t seen any money come in, and the car’s in the shop, and with Madame P.'s health, she hasn’t been able to do a striptease for me in a couple of years, but I’m on the SDMB, so am I not still a winner?
