There is. Your position as head of the Royal Academy.

I, Lord Kelvin, hereby vow to surrender my position as minister of science to Phileas Fogg if he can circumnavigate the globe... in no more than 80 days.

Just as I always suspected, Fogg. You promise so much, yet you deliver... oh, nothing.

Lord Kelvin

I'll take your wager.

Phileas Fogg
