What will win NEXT year's Nobel Peace Prize?

Post by mistermack » Sat Oct 13, 2012 1:07 pm

I'm nominating the English Language.

With more and more people able to talk directly to each other, it's getting harder to hate foreigners.

And my nomination for runner-up, if the English Language can't make the ceremony, is the price of oil. If it keeps going up, we won't be able to afford the fuel for tanks and planes.

Yeah. I was hoping it was like the Olympics or World Cup, but a quick googling says it's annual. :sigh:

I just found something sticking to my t-shirt and stuck it in my mouth. It was crunchy and pretty edible. Do I win anything?

Brilliant choices! I'm surprised they didn't win this year.
