Yes, Gyro Gearloose received a Nobel Prize in 1988, in a special category
termed "Odd-ball Physics" ("Strambalata" = "Odd-ball"?). This is not a
Barksian, but a Scarpian "fact": it appeared in the opening pages of the
opening chapter in Scarpa's "Paperolimpiadi" ("Seul 1988"). Gyro shows to
the Nobel authorities a sample of his odd-ball inventions, i.e. the lens
"vidrium", which is capable of making very happy anyone who looks thru it!
