    I'd support that.

    It is fora like this where all races, creeds, colors (you name the "divide") get together for mutual benefit without caring about any of that.

    I agree. Al Gore, the inventor of the internet, got a Nobel Prize. Seems fair that his greatest invention should get one too

    does nobel piece prize even matter anymore? does anyone take them seriously? they just pick whatever name is at the top of google searches and hands them a prize.

    therefore i attribute this to a bug in google search...

    That's a joke, right?
    Al Gore wishes he invented the Internet. As far as I know the Internet was created and running happily along, way before Al gore came into the picture.

    After the last year's decision the Nobel Prize has been totally discredited for me, at least its 'Peace' branch. I had the feeling: satan has been beatified. Incredible!
