In breaking news a local Betoota woman has today been awarded one of the science communities highest honours for a house hold task that has stumped the human race for decades.
At 12:54 AEST Charon Styx was awarded the Nobel Prize for successfully defrosting a whole pre-made beef casserole as opposed to only the casserole’s outer layer – which is the reality for the world’s laymen’s.
The Advocate caught up with and ecstatic Charon shortly after she accepted the award in Sweden.
“Just wow. For years I’ve been trying to defrost a whole casserole but I’ve only ever succeeded in creating a hot moat around the still frozen interior”
“To be recognised for this means so much to me”
The Advocate understands Charon is going to publish a paper in Betoota’s famed scientific journal outlining how she arrived at a fully defrosted casserole and just how these findings will improve the lives of people across the globe.
Being awarded a Nobel Prize is no easy feat, Charon joins the ranks of Albert Einstein, penicillin discoverer Sir Alexander Fleming, and Francis Crick and James Watson who discovered DNA was shaped like a double helix.
Charon’s success on the world stage is a testament to Australian ingenuity and, if her brilliance is anything to go by, the Advocate suspects it’s just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to our countrymen and women doing Australia proud.
More to come.
