Pieces

Today I want to throw a few things out there for everyone to ponder. First of all I can't help but wonder why the Nobel Peace Prize has three naked men on the back? (The front has a profile of Nobel) The artist (Gustav Vigeland) that created the medal does extensive work in nude sculpture and none of it looks particularly peaceful to me. I am thinking the idea on the Peace prize Medal having the men naked was meant to show trust for each other because they weren't carrying weapons? but let's face it,men don't need weapons to turn on each other and let the killing begin. The front of the medal has the inscription "Prix Prize Laureate",the reverse side reads: Pro pace it fraternitate gentium translated "For the peace and brotherhood of men". It is entirely possible,likely even,that I have become a bit of a cynic and am unable to enjoy the spirit of the message.
On the lighter side of things,on the News @Noon they were talking about the Pope's upcoming visit to Brazil,but instead of showing the picture of the Pope they showed a still of a man with no shirt standing by a 260 lb. tuna that capsized his boat...If you think I didn't laugh over than,think again!
