Reforming College Hockey

Re: Reforming College Hockey

RE-Nobel- it's actually not that surprising that he's NOT on the list- he invented TNT, and then invented the Nobel Prize to try to make up for that (based on how it was later twisted)

Brunelleschi- did the dome in Florence, which he did in a way that even Michelegelo could not figure out.

Eisenhower

Susan B Anthony
Lewis and or Clark
Richard Byrd

Nope. Nobel invented dynamite and gilignite (ways to handle the explosive nitroglycerin). Trinitrotoluene came later by Wilbrand, a German chemist.
