About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read, "Dynamite King Dies." And also "He was the merchant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words "merchant of death," he asked himself a question, "Is this how I am going to be remembered?" He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he started working toward peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize.

1. The papers reported that Alfred Nobel had died in the obituaries (the party of the paper were the deaths are announced and public tributes/remembrances are recorded). Famous people often have obituaries pre-written for the sake of convenience. The newspapers had mistaken Alfred's death for the death of Shantellique "Shake That" Nobel, who was impaled in a freak stripping accident.

2. Nobel wonders if he was in his home or an afterlife suspiciously like his home.

3. He looked within and realized the horror he had wrought upon mankind with his explosive earthmoving invention and decided he'd rather be remembered for an annual wank.
