@crab ... that was strange. I have seen a different version of your last post 10 minutes ago. I sounded like you did not know where the Nobel Prize comes from.
Alfred Nobel did not invent nitro-glycerine. He invented a save way to detonate it and later a save way to store it - Dynamite. Nitro-glycerine was way to instable for military use and very often there where terrible accidents with that stuff in mines and tunnels. His interest was to find a safe way to handle it.
Nobel hated war but made a lot of money during the Krim war with Ballistit. Probably to offset this, he created the Nobel prizes. I would say this is a normal human reaction.
BTW ... do crabs get very dangerous when cornered?
