Description EDIT:

It has been brought to my attention (repeatedly) that Alfred Nobel invented dynamite for miners and NOT for war and was so horrified by its extensive use in war that it inspired him to create the Nobel Peace Prize. His own way of making up for what he saw as an evil that he brought into the world.
I will be editting this fact properly when the project is over in May, in the mean time, stop telling me something I now know! Thanks.

sort of, we owe so much to him! the materials, particularly the metals in the computer you know use would have been very dificult to extract from the ground in mines if it was for companys like Dyno Nobel.

A blade can heal in a surgeons hands, and kill in an assassins.
