Peace Prize finalists

Nothing funny this week -- just a public service announcement. You may have seen the story that Al Gore was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, but as you know the full list of nominees is not released. But through some digging, I got a partial list for you.

Al Gore; former vice president, United States
-- Nominated for his efforts on climate change awareness

Thich Quang Do; political prisoner and monk, Vietnam
-- Nominated for his work to promote human rights and democracy
Sail Training International; non-profit charity, United Kingdom
-- Nominated for helping young people develop their minds through sailing

Marty Morningweg; offensive coordinator, Philadelphia Eagles
-- Nominated for his efforts to bring the run to the people of Philadelphia

Joe Theismann; commentator, ESPN
-- Nominated for his support of brain trauma research, by creating new research subjects through his mind-devestating speech

Rex Grossman; quarterback, Chicago Bears
-- Nominated for his generosity, especially when it comes to the Colts defense

Terrell Owens; wide receiver, Dallas Cowboys
-- Nominated for 25 million reasons

If I find out any more names, I'll let you know.
