In 2000, physicists Sir Andre Geim and Sir Michael Berry won an Ig Nobel prize for making a frog levitate using magnets.

In 2010, Geim also earned a Nobel Prize in physics for his work in discovering graphene. He's the only person to have won both awards.

We didn't invent pixels until Steve Jobs single-handedly started cranking out iPhones in 2007.

He wants you to think that, but actually he stole them from Xerox.
