I was just looking at the past Ig Nobel Prize winners and skimming the peace prize entries. 1998, jointly to the prime ministers of India and Pakistan for "their aggressively peaceful explosions of atomic bombs." It's been five years. Amazing what we can get used to. I miss the window when I didn't expect to see a nuclear bomb used in a war again.

Wow! I don't remember that Nobel at all; denial, I suppose.

I still take heart in the fact that each year it's been longer since nukes were used in warfare. At the same time, I agree with you that they loom larger on my horizon today than they did for much of my life.
