I was awarded 6 million crowns by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters for my pioneering work with Tits. Now, now, stop it. It's not what your thinking. Why anyone gets turned on by little birds I have no idea. Such people are aberrant at best.
I am talking, of course, about my work regarding the new and influential notion of groups as geometric objects and their symmetry that I did with Jacques Tits, of France.
By the way, the Norwegian crown is a lot stronger than the dollar; so, it didn't make sense to convert all the money to--gulp--American dollars. That's why I spent my half of the $1.2 million on Norwegian pickeled herring. They don't call me an algebra whiz for nothing!
