Apparently Al Gore is in the running for a Nobel Peace Prize. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

So Al Gore won the Noble Peace Prize today, you think he would announce later today that he is going to run for president? This is one helva year for Gore. -------------------- I go to the maize and blue

Al Gore basically got the Nobel Peace Prize for what essentially was a poorly put together PowerPoint presentation. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
