Is there any way that you can come up with a creative jingle to remind us all that Hussein, one of the very few Muslims, received a Nobel Prize?

[Verginius Rufus]

There has been maybe one Muslim among the winners in the hard sciences--physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine (a Pakistani shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics). Otherwise the Nobel Prizes won by Muslims have been in literature (Naguib Mahfouz, 1988, and Orhan Pamuk, 2006) (I'm assuming they are Muslims based on their nationality), or in peace--Anwar Sadat, Yasser Arafat, Mohamed ElBaradei, Muhammad Yunus. Shirin Ebadi, the 2003 winner, is from Iran so probably a Muslim. Political considerations seem to play a big role in the literature and peace prizes--which is not to say that all of the winners are undeserving.
