    Nobel Prize Categories:

    Physics
    Chemistry
    Economics
    Literature
    Peace
    Physiology or Medicine


    (Apparently if you win one of the Nobel Prizes you also win 10,000,000$ SEK (Swedish kronor) ... not sure how that translates to in USD/CDN... but I'm sure it's probably more than!

    Boldly go.

    Really?
    Yes. Although I'm sure each category has seen its fair share of breakthroughs to help mankind in a tangible way only the applied sciences have real potential to help us here and now.

    There is not. But even if there were, rest assured that you would fall quite short of the requirements needed to win it.

    I would win the Nobel Peace Prize. It is given away like candy these days.

    Yams is full of nonsense.

    I'm going to win literature, peace, and possibly economics.

    Grin

    Physics
    Chemistry
    Economics
    Literature
    Peace
    Physiology or Medicine
    lol@chemistry

    with apologies to Yams (btw reply to my racism thread in Fragglerock)

    Anyway, if I had to win one, it would be for Literature of Physics, but only in theoretical physics, like I would somehow manage to understand modern physics (stupid Newtonian physics) and then come up with some concept that changes the world.

    Ahh, good times.

    There needs to be a NP for being asian.

    Stupidity and cowardice, all because I don't have the ovaries to make one simple phone call

    Realistically, Literature is the only Nobel prize I could get. I suck at the rest, 'specialy Peace.
