December 3

I don’t really follow sports and know very little about any of the many sporting events that seem to be so popular. Well, that’s not entirely true. I am a big fan of curling, which I only have to deal with every four years during the Winter Olympics. The following must be a sporting event that I am unaware of. Are there really father and son Nobel Prize tag teams? Perhaps. Karl Manne Georg Siegbahn was born on the 3rd in 1886. He was a Swedish physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1924. It seems that I have stumbled across a bunch of folks born in December seemingly possessed of more than their fair share of good genes. Siegbahn’s son Kai Manne Borje Siegbahn, would also go on to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1981.
