A RESOURCE THAT IS NOT EXPANDING AT NEAR THE SPEED OF LIGHT: Saul Perlmutter of UC Berkeley was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work regarding dark matter and the expansion of the universe. Of course, far more important than his half-share of the prize money is his lifetime campus parking place. The article notes that it's a central campus permit, but it's better than that. The University will either designate a parking spot for you or, fire code permitting, paint you one wherever you want it.

    At UGA, Nobel prize or no, he'd still have to give up the spot on home football game days.
