Congrats Harold Pinter...

The Nobel Prize in Literature goes to Harold Pinter, author of one my favorite plays, Betrayal, which in turn was the inspiration for my favorite Seinfeld episode. They both go backwards.

Appropriate quote from said Seinfeld episode:
Jerry: Well, everybody's a little cranky on their birthday.
George: Oh, it's a bad day. You got everyone in your house, you're thinkin', "These are my friends?!"
Jerry: (Sarcastic) Every day is my birthday.
