The Nobel Prize committee phoned up very early in the morning, as they always do.
I was giving a talk in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at MIT,
so I was at a hotel and they called up and told me that I was going to share the Nobel Prize...
...with Sidney Altman from Yale University, who had done independent work in the same area.
They also suggested that maybe I would be skeptical, that this was really the Nobel Prize...
...maybe it would be a some kind of joke or prank, so thet had a friend of mine...
...from Sweden to get on the phone and assure me that this was an authentic phone call.
But frankly, it would have been very difficult for this to have been a joke,
because as soon as I put down the phone, the newspaper reporters started immediately...
...phoning up the hotel room.
So it would have had to have been a very elaborate prank.
