It is ironic that Alfred Nobel, the man who invented dynamite, has a "peace" prize offered in his name. This is why I thought to seek the "Nobel Dynamite Peace Prize".

Certainly the more prestigious "FReeper Oxford Award" would be quite an honor, indeed. However, the thought of renaming the Atlantic Ocean has a depth of its own.

Hmmm...Maybe we can name the deepest of ocean depths after you -- The Marianas 'Drobot trench' ;-)...Yes, more than a bit of irony in naming a "peace" prize after the inventor of dynamite, Alfred Nobel.

And BTW -- might some Freepers be surprised that the prestigious 'FReeper Oxford Award' was named after Alfred E. Newman's brother, "Oxford" A. Newman...
