Norman Borlaug, the Nobel Prize winning agricultural scientist widely credited with saving one billion people from starvation, died today at age 95. Borlaug made a career introducing high-yield disease resistance crop varieties in impoverished and food-poor areas. He won the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal, but perhaps the most moving tribute he recieved was this gem from Penn & Teller's Bullshit.
