The Greek Government is to be proposed for the Nobel Prize in Geometry because it has finally cracked the problem of how to square the circle. In the great tradition of Ancient Greek Geometry the modern greek government has lived up to its heritage by increasing the number of unemployed in the economy, slashing incomes of all those remaining in work, throwing the country in deep recession thereby creating the conditions for exorbitant increases in taxation both direct and indirect taxation.

Has anyone else ever been able to achieve such success tantamount to squaring the circle?
