Yale students protest their own professor, who happens to be a Nobel Prize winner.

Yale students in a Introductory Macroeconomics lecture given by Nobel Prize winner Robert Schiller interrupted his class with a (Yale equivalent of a) prank. The prank consisted of having their cellphones erupt en masse, before charging the lectern to present Schiller with a paper scroll and a bell, according to the Yale Daily News, then announcing "For talking about your Nobel Prize more than anyone else, we present you with the Yes-bell Prize." Then a small herd of students walked out of the lecture.

Get it? No-bel? Yes-bell?

ZING!

Because your everyday undergraduate knows about Nobel Prize winners more than anyone else, amiright??

That (lack of) high comedy came in a lecture hall of 400 students, where Schiller occasionally mentions he won the 2013 Nobel Prize for Economics. Because when you're talking about your research to an introductory class of college students, hey, you might mention how that aligned with your award.

Thank goodness these students are so humble as to accept being taught by an international award winner with grace. It's the economic equivalent of being taught by Ernest Hemingway, and then telling him to stick it because he mentions his book that won a lot of awards.
