Like The Spanish Inquisition

says Nobel winner.
Greider, 48, said she was telephoned just before 5 a.m. her time with the news that she had won.

"It's really very thrilling, it's something you can't expect," she told The Associated Press by telephone.

People might make predictions of who might win, but one never expects it, she said, adding that "It's like the Monty Python sketch, 'Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!'"
Wait a sec. Greider is 48 and the work that won was done during the 70s and 80s. Do the math. First female near-child to win Nobel?
And now for something completely different.
