An extremely Nobel* gesture (*sic)

From the BBC Website

Quote:

Russia's richest man has revealed that he bought US scientist James Watson's Nobel Prize gold medal, and intends to return it to him.

Steel and telecoms tycoon Alisher Usmanov said Mr Watson "deserved" the medal, and that he was "distressed" the scientist had felt forced to sell it.

Well played, Mr Usmanov. What a very kind and thoughtful thing to do.

I can honestly say if I had a lot of money I would have done the same thing.

Ditto. Shows a different side to the man than the drug baron rumours that surfaced when he first purchased shares in Arsenal.

He wasn't forced to sell it all. He chose to sell it as massive self pitying whine.
