Man, even at Waterloo, I bet a Nobel counts for something when you go up for full professor.

In all seriousness, congrats to the lot of them. The Nobel certainly isn't an ideal mechanism for recognizing the best work (too few recipients, takes too long, etc), but that needn't stop us from applauding those who get one.
