Nobel prize for Plate Tectonics

On the 24th April our intrepid convectioneer

complained:- "Last I heard, there is no Nobel prize in Geology."

So what are you doing, Stuart, to remedy this parlous situation, ..a
clever guy like you? Nothing? Passing the buck and leaving it to
this nut?

"The development of plate-tectonic theory certainly warrants a Nobel
Prize," said Dr. Marcia McNutt, president-elect of the American
Geophysical Union. "There is no doubt that it ranks as one of the top
ten scientific accomplishments of the second half of the 20th
Century."

Either she has to be joking, or she is a dedicated fifth columnist,
getting herself conceived, christened, and to this age ...just so she
can infiltrate the wrong side of the fence and take a swipe at
Knitting as a worthy candidate for the Nobel Prize.
