How Do You Do Fellow Mathematicians
The ultimate mathematical plot twist! The newspaper headline calls Einstein a "famed mathematician" when he was primarily a physicist. It's like calling Gordon Ramsay a "renowned food critic" or Neil Armstrong a "famous airplane enthusiast." The joke plays on how media often misclassifies scientists - Einstein developed revolutionary physics theories that used complex mathematics as a tool, but mathematicians are probably clutching their pearls at this classification. Pure mathematicians and physicists have this friendly rivalry where they're constantly reminding each other they're not the same thing. This headline would make any math department break into nervous laughter!

Is This A Valid Scientific Category?
The Nobel Committee desperately chasing after computer scientists like they're rare Pokémon while completely ignoring that CS isn't actually physics. It's the academic equivalent of your grandparents calling every gaming console a "Nintendo." Fun fact: Despite groundbreaking work in AI, algorithms, and computational theory, there's no dedicated Nobel Prize for computer science! Instead, CS breakthroughs often get awkwardly shoved into the Physics category like trying to fit a USB plug in the wrong way three times before it finally works.
