Madame Marie Curie was the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes.  Her first was in Physics (1903) and the second in Chemistry (1911).  So what did she do with the money?  She used part of the prize to both change the wallpaper and to put a modern bathroom into her Paris home.

I’m way too old for Facebook. I found one person I knew in university plus a few people I know in real life. And no one at all from my high school — not that I’m yearning to reconnect with people who’ll remember my 80s fashion faux pas.
Also, there are quite a few people on there with my name — and they all are much hotter (and a good decade and a half younger) than me. I think I’ll  go back to my address book…this is all just a little too Millennial Generation for me.
