The bees were last seen grabbing two beers and yelling "I quit,” over the PA system.

The 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner is Liu Xiaobo, who is in a Chinese prison for campaigning for political reform in that country. In prison, Liu calls for peaceful political change, but can’t do anything. Last year’s winner was President Obama, who also called for change, but then also can’t seem to do anything.

Vice president Joe Biden was upset. Since Obama got the Nobel last year, Biden figured he should have had it in the bag this year.
