He was a chemist, engineer, innovator, armaments manufacturer and an enthusiastic devotee to the study of explosives. In 1866 Alfred Noble invented Dynamite which he patented in 1867. When he died in 1896, Alfred Nobel left behind a nine million dollar endowment fund. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded yearly to people whose work helps humanity. Upon his death in 1896 , Nobel had amassed a significant fortune. Along with the proceeds of dynamite, he held 355 patents in the fields of electrochemistry, biology, optics, and physiology. It was certainly more than enough with which to set up a fund known as the Nobel Peace prize as set out in his final will. But back to the peanuts. So, how exactly are peanuts involved in dynamite? Dynamite is made from Nitroglycerine Nitroglycerine, also known as trinitroglycerin, and glyceryl trinitrate, is an oily, explosive liquid made by nitrating glycerol. So nitroglycerine is made from glycerol. Glycerol or glycerine, is a viscous liquid used in soap, cream, and food. Glycerol is made of……….Peanut oil! Peanut oil of course being made of peanuts! So there you have it! The principle ingredient of dynamite is peanuts! In fact you could conceivably concur that without peanuts, there very possibly would never have been a Nobel Peace Prize. Things we learn on the forum!

You can't look at that face and not love that young lady. I guess that is what DB was saying, dynamite comes from a small package.

It certainly looks like the elder of the Miyazato twins is going to be a significant figure on the 2010 tour. The sky's the limit for her now. She made her breakthrough at the Evian,last year,now she wins the stacked season opener. It's,obviously,too early to talk about the POY ;but she has to figure in the conversation alongside Ochoa,Shin,NYC,Nordqvist and Kerr. It's shaping up to be fun... ![]() Pax Vobiscum Saint-Just X |
