What to do with Nobel Prize?

Winner of the 2008 Nobel economics prize Paul Krugman has a very pungent style of writing. Always writing about gloomy things in the Republican administration - especially, their way of providing health care and swearing by free market capitalism. I thought, after Obama won, he may be happy. But, he has started writing that Obama may not act boldly enough to bring an end to the economic malaise.


But he seems to have a funny side as well. He will receive his Nobel gold medal and about 1.2million dollar prize on December 10. When asked what he planned to do with the prize money, he said he had yet to decide, pointing out that, 'my favourite congratulatory e-mail said like this:'
Congratulations. I hope you can find a bank still standing!
Correct, where will he put his millions now? Wrong time to get big prize money, I guess ...
