OSLO, Norway — Finland's ex-president Martti Ahtisaari received the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for his efforts to build a lasting peace from Africa and Asia to Europe and the Middle East.


"The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2008 to Martti Ahtisaari for his important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts. These efforts have contributed to a more peaceful world and to 'fraternity between nations' in Alfred Nobel's spirit," the committee said in announcing the prize.

You did realize that my point was: who cares? Why not post your pathetic association in the thread on the topic?

[SlowwHand]

I don't know the guy, I just thought it was pretty cool.
How many Nobel winners have you been associated in anyway with? Besides that, I don't really give a **** what you think.

What's he doing in Texas? Is Texas one of those "troubled spots" they were referencing with, "who has worked to end conflicts in troubled spots around the world"?

Based on your level of association and higher, probably 10 or more. It's not something I keep track of.
