We invented laugh, it's really crying, but we didnt feel the need to tell anyone else. So, when you hear stories of Finns being all serious and stuff, we are actually happy and enjoying our lifes.

Damn we are cool.

I don't see the big deal, if you ask me...it clearly proofs that Nobel prizes have little meaning..nothing more then a ordinary Oscar.

Not quite true if you ask me, but it does prove that the Peace prize is the most controversial of them all. This wouldn't be the first time people get upset about their decision.

True that. For one the 2007 (?) winner who had made a bank for poor people. Great idea, but hardly qualifies for Nobel Peace Prize if you ask me.

Its the first time that nearly everyone, with the exception of Jimmy Carter (theres and endorsement) are saying WTF?

Even the Oscars are awared to movies only that already had been shown in the cinemas. There is no Oscar for "intended movie project in the coming three years".

When I came downstairs this morning, cup o' Java in the hand, the first thing I heard from across the room: " What the?!?! That must be a joke or something! Obama got the Peace Prize?!"

WTH? They could have at least waited a year and see how his 'peace' politics pan out, before jumping the gun. Seriously, they need to tighten the anti drug laws over there. The committee seems to smoke some dope or something like that.
Wait.. forget that.. Be more social... Send me some of the stuff!

Well Alfred Nobel invented dynamite so with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan still continuing it makes perfect sense.

Oberon · 10-09-09, 10:33 AM

Heard this on Five Live and thought 'Wha?'

I mean, I'm no Nobama but you know, the guy hasn't really done anything! Certainly not anything deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize!

Talk about a popularity contest!

My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions. As soon as men will find that in one instant, whole armies can be utterly destroyed, they surely will abide by golden peace.

Alfred Nobel.

His intentions were never to invent something to harm people, but inevitably this is what happened. The human mind is a complex thing...

Now that you mention it, just wait until Obama sweeps the Oscars!

The man that invented the machine gun was a doctor and invented it to 'save lives'.

But honestly where would we be without dynomite?
