I hope J2P doesn't ever get a prize. According to this pamphlet (The Renegade Pope) I read which I found on the ground from some Xian group, J2P worked for the company that manufactured Zyklon-B for use in the Nazi death camps.

I believe the Jews themselves applaud JP2 for his helping Jews escape/hide in WW2.

The medicine prize goes to the Brit PC Lauterbury and the American P Mansfield for presenting the basic principles that lead to the development of NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Tomography for non-destructive 2D-3D inspection of the body, commonly used on the brain.

I thought the inventors of NMR already got the Chemistry prize? I vaguely remember seing a Nobel Prize poster explaing the principles of NMR hanging at the wall when I was in University.

I saw a scientific TV program 1-2 years ago where some researcher used NMR to study the bodily processes and organs during intercourse. It was the first time that event had been literally studied on the inside in real time, rather than from outside or in theory. Only one example of NMR , of the more popular kind.

The physics prize has gone to Ginzburg, Abrikosov and Leggett for their work on superconductivity and superfluidity. I only know Ginzburg, but apparently, they're all theorists.

Isn't that the third or fourth prize given in the field of superconductivity?

That economics prize still not a nobel prize. Oh well, no one seems to care.

I guess it's an important methological tool, not very exciting for the wast majority though.

She is accused by some hard-line ayatollahs of trying single-handedly to undermine Iran's Islamic revolution. Petite and soft-spoken, she looks no match for her bearded detractors. But Shirin Ebadi is made of steel.

"Any person who pursues human rights in Iran must live with fear from birth to death, but I have learned to overcome my fear," she says.

Ms. Ebadi was Iran's first woman judge before the revolution, after which the ayatollahs decided women were too emotional and irrational to hold such posts. She now lectures in law at Tehran University, is a vocal campaigner for women's and children's rights, and takes on cases other lawyers would never dare touch.

An Aussie betting company had the following odds for some of the numerous Peace Prize candidates:

Pope 1.75
Vaclav havel 5
Hans Blix 81
G.W. Bush 205

I wonder if the winner was even on their list? A worthy winner though. Not even Bush could complain.
