The Nobel, Ignoble and the corrupt
A few miscellaneous entries in this post..
From Rathodics we get a case for J&J ethics and how J&J put customer safety first, before their profits. [I am not entirely convincd].
Again from Rathodics I was reminded of the recent Nobel prize announcements. I find the Nobel prize in Chemistry, 2004 most interesting.
Historically the IgNobel prizes have been declared (and presented) a few weeks before the declaration of the Nobel prizes. Heres a list of the 2004 IgNobel winners.
Lastly as the Maharashtra assembly elections draw near, the Maharashtra Election Watch website has some interesting background details of 1625 candidates contesting for the 288 constituencies in Vidhan Sabha elections in the state. [eg. 22.5% of all candidates have criminal backgrounds, 200 candidates are crorepatis etc.].

Talking of elections in Maharashtra ... can you believe that for 288 assembly seats there are more than 288 "so-called" rebels in the fary as independent candidates :-) ... just because they were denied a ticket! God knows what the results are going to be like.
