The most surprising fact is that three dictators ( all warmongers and killers) were even considered for the Nobel Peace prize. To err is very human.

I remember overhearing a salesman telling a potential customer that the computer he was considering had a 5mb hard drive and it would be plenty of storage and would probably never get filled up. Those were the days of DOS operating system and green screen monitors.

The bombs were dropped by accident. Thank God they didn't detonate or no one would be able to live there today.

I'm not surprised at the Nobel Prize nominees. After all, they gave one to Carter and one to Obama rewarding their aid to islam.

Regarding our Constitution, I believe "correct" spelling did not come into vogue until the 1830s or so. It followed the publication of a Dictionary of the English Language (1755) in England by Samuel Johnson and An American Dictionary of the English Language by Noah Webster in the United States in 1828. Some of words were spelled differently in the two dictionaries. That quirk continues to this day.

Hitler,Mussolini,Stalin were 'considered' for the Nobel Peace Prize,whereas Aung San Suu Kyi,Yasser Arafat and Menachim Begin who were directly involved in the killings of unknown number of people had 'received' the Nobel Peace Prize'. Something to think about.
