for all lonely souls out there, here's an inspirational story proving that it's never too late....
BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Nobel Prize laureate Chen Ning Yang, 82, will marry a 28-year-old post-graduate from south China's Guangdong Province next month, an official with Beijing-based Tsinghua University announced here Friday.

he's 82 and she's 28. maybe these darned physicists just LOVE permutating numbers...

[topdog]

at least they were born in the same millenium...

gotta agree that 82 and 28 are auspicious numbers though.

I don't think is fair to disparage the girl before we know anything. Of course it is very possible that the fame and wealth is most possibly the main intention behind the marriage, but there is still a small possibility, albeit probably very small one, that underlines the "love"?

So does anyone have inside information about the girl's intention?

*disbelief*

Maybe they have common interest, or...maybe they have really special moments together?

No one will know the true story behind their relationship except themselves. So I dont think it's fair for us to judge...

i wonder if the old man gets any play?

[ElansarGelmir]

maybe they are into palindromes?

[youngyew]

maybe they are into palindromes?

LOL!! haha, this is a good one. But they are into palindrome for only one year.
