Magnificent freebie.
Magnificent freebie.
For one Nobelja now give 49 Blobelej!
"The most intellectual feast on a planet" - so name
Solemn banquet after annual ceremony of delivery
Nobel Prizes. And with this definition hardly you will argue.
"Most intellectual" usually passes in capital of Sweden
Stockholm. It not only the most intellectual, that quite
Explainably, but also, perhaps, the most extravagant and the most strict
Under the report. Harmony on him is calibrated by algebra, as in music
Salieri if to believe Pushkin.
On each person, switching on even the king and the queen of Sweden,
It is necessary 21,6 inches to "the table area". So not
You will clear up. But it just that case when it is possible to tell: "In
To narrowness, yes not in insult ". The first Nobel banquet has taken place in
Stockholm "Grand Hotel" in 1901. On him was present
118 visitors, and it are men. On last banquet of visitors was
1373 persons, including women.
Fault of "guest inflation" are Nobel winners.
Under the report each of them has the right to invite visitors on
Banquet. And the majority of them abuses this right. In it
Sense the winner of last year in medicine has appeared the champion
Gjunter Blobel, 49 persons who have invited already! "Choreographers" of a banquet
Have planted for a table only 17 blobelevskih visitors, and the others
Treated to a supper at nearby restaurant. Paid for them
Blobel. However, to ball after a banquet have been invited all
blobelevtsy.
Having considered incident with Blobelem, the Nobel committee has entered the guest
Quota - 12 visitors on a banquet and more seven - on ball. Last year
The Nobel winners the baker's dozen - 13 persons was typed,
Divided six awards in 900000 dollars everyone. Usually the king
Charles-Gustav XVI sits near to the spouse of the winner-physicist.
(Traditional servility before this science, calling
All accruing protests from attendants of other sciences, which
Now obviously bypass physics.) as that year the award on
To the physicist have divided three scientists, it has been decided to plant near to It
Majesty that wife who is more senior on age. Smoothly on
To etiquette, but not on-dzhentlmenski. After all age of the woman - a taboo!
Who would not like to take part in the greatest
Intellectual gluttony? Many, not knowing the Nobel
Ritual, pester "choreographers" with poshlenkoj the request: "Is not present
Whether superfluous ticket? ". They are ready to pay for it any sum,
Sometimes even exceeding the sizes of the Nobel Prize. But it
Voices scandalous in desert. Tickets for "most intellectual" in
Open sale do not arrive. For any money. And secondhand dealers
Here does not happen. That to whom it is necessary, pay for a banquet. Such
About 60 percent of visitors - representatives of the higher scientific light
And the organisations financing Nobel Prizes. However, a payment
Acceptable - only 87 dollars (875 Swedish crones) from a snout, that is
For a cover. The visitors sitting for "an honour Table" - the person 90, - for
Banquet do not pay. Among "cheapskates" newly made winners,
Them blagovernye, crowned persons (not only Swedish) and heads
Corporations-sponsors, for example, "Volvo" or SAS; though the last
It is impossible to enlist in chemically pure cheapskates, as they
Pay for all.
On etiquette to drink it is not authorised, while on it will not give the command
The chairman of the Nobel committee. While he says a toast, all
Stand, holding the glasses two fingers for a leg at level not
Above the uppermost button of a man's shirtfront, and the woman - not more low
The second button from above. After the first drink visitors have a seat, but
Immediately again jump, and all ritual repeats, while spich
The king says this time. Clinking glasses are obliged to look in the face
Each other - even then when they will taste glasses. This tradition
It was led since times of Vikings which did not trust each other and
Were afraid, that clinking glasses can kill the visitor if will reduce from him
Eye. During those far times all posudnoe silver consisted of one
Knifes.
Now, of course, laying is much more various. Nobelevtsy -
Not Vikings. The service for banquets has been reserved for 1,6 million
Dollars to the 90 anniversary of Nobel Prizes in 1991. It consists from
6750 glasses, 9450 knifes and plugs, 9550 plates and... One tea
Cups. poslednja - for princess Liliany, which now 80 years and
Which does not drink coffee. The cup is stored in the special beautiful
To box from a tree with the monogram of the princess. But here a saucer from it
Someone has stolen.
The main course submit on the plates framed with a gold border,
In cost in 40 dollars everyone. Silver, naturally, from
Silver, except for the gilt knifes for the fish, having
The form of fish with green stones instead of eyes. Steal ware on
Souvenirs moderately. From last year it was necessary to buy in addition hundred coffee
Spoons, that, according to owners, "quite tolerantly".
The banquet menu keeps in the strict secret, as migration
The American submarines in the Swedish fjords. All attempts of weights
-Media to nose out secrets of the Nobel kitchen, as a rule,
Terminate in anything. Last year the menu looked the following
In the image: artishokovyj a cream with the cut apples, lobsters and caviar
On snack. The second - a fillet from a lamb, wrapped up in white cabbage.
Dessert - vanilla ice-cream with pineapples, berries and a spoon
Sugar.
But even last Nobel banquet will look
Primitive breakfast on a grass in comparison with that will occur
In Stockholm in 2001 when it will be marked 100-year-old
Anniversary of Nobel Prizes. On a banquet will gather about 200 winners
The Nobel Prize. Here it indeed will be the most intellectual
Feast on the Earth; and as conceiving beings in space while
Are not found out - that and in all Universe.
P.S. The facts and statistics for this feast, on which at me honey
Even on moustaches did not flow, are taken by me from the newspaper "Uoll-strit dzhornel".
She though also does not forget body of business circles, but also a science. In ours
Time to business without a science both neither tudy and nor sjudy.
