NOBEL PRIZE WINNER!
What?
Update: I finally realized what the awarding of the Nobel Prize to Barack Obama reminded me of.
The Emperor Nero was quite the fan of accolades and awards. Some time during his reign he decided he was an Olympian - so off he went to Greece. Most notable was his performance in the chariot race.
If you're thinking Ben-Hur - guess again. He fell out of his chariot at one point and the rest of the competitors had to stop as the Emperor recovered his composure and trotted back into the lead to claim the laurel wreath.
Obama's Nobel Prize is on par with Nero's Olympic victory.
