Q: What did Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, who died on December 10, 1896, invent?
A: Dynamite! Then he created the Nobel Prize for human achievement, just in case humanity survived all the dynamite. Nobel prizes, often won by middle-aged scientists or politicians, were first awarded on December 10, 1901. So, needless to say, a swimsuit category would be a bad idea.

A: United States diplomat Ralph Joseph Bunche received the Nobel Peace Prize for his peace mediation during the first Arab-Israeli war on December 10, 1950.
Q: From what do more U.S. airline passengers die in flight?
