Bob 'n' Bono among faves for Peace Prize
disnews by DiS News October 4th, 2005
The odds on Bono and Bob Geldof picking up the Nobel Peace Prize for - oh, you know what - have improved dramatically over the past two months.

The nominations were made public in August, at which time the pair were 66-1 for the prize. Now, though, their odds have been slashed to 7-1. In total there were 167 nominees.

Favourite to win is Finnish president Martti Ahtissari, who helped broker a peace deal in Indonesia. We doubt he wears shades as well as Bono.
