Declined the Nobel prize, for the second time!
This dude Grigori Perelman got offered the Nobel prize for the second time and also declined it for the second time. He has been offered various medals and prizes, but declined all of them. Seems to a really cool guy.
"In August, 2006, Perelman was offered but declined to accept the Fields Medal, which is the highest award in mathematics. It is expected that he will also be offered (and will also decline) a share of a million dollar prize offered by Clay Mathematics Institute for solving one of the so-called Millennium Prize problems."

You worship anyone with a beard.
Yes.
I might lock myself up for a couple of years myself and then come back with some world truths. But first I have to go lunch.
Bocadillo de queso?
Or pan nordic at Pans & Company with the dodgy fries? Choices, all these choises.
Refusing an award is just a noisy way of accepting
You got a point, Andy.
Or a pint perhaps.
