Nobel Peace Prize

[RICHARD]

Tell it to the Norwegians - they're the ones who made the unanimous decision.

I don't know Norway from Sweden-you expect me to comment on that part of the story????

As a matter of fact, Where is Nobel?

Nobel is dead. That was Alfred Nobel. And you are correct - he was Swedish.

Alfred Nobel's will stated that the prize should be awarded by a committee of five people elected by the Norwegian Parliament. Norway and Sweden were at that time still in union, and with Sweden responsible for all foreign policy, Nobel felt that the prize might be less subject to political corruption if awarded by Norway. The Peace Prize is presented annually in Oslo, in the presence of the king, on December 10 (the anniversary of Nobel's death), and is the only Nobel Prize not presented in Stockholm.

Did he blow himself up or was it natural causes?

He died at the age of 63, following a cerebral hemorrhage.

Here is an interesting article about him. I don't think I knew that he was a pacifist.

His brain blew up.

He wasn't too happy about people blowing each other up.

I hadn't looked at it quite that way, but you're right. There was an explosion of sorts in his brain. Wonder if he had too much close contact with nitro over the years

What about Herta Müller? Does she deserve a Nobel Prize??
