Did the person who discovered aspirin get a Nobel prize?
Cos they deserve it, I had a terrible hangover today, imagine what it was like before aspirin.
The only thing I've learnt since last night, is to lay off the shooters, knocking em back made me feel as though I had ingrowing fingernails!

Queen Victoria took cocaine, I believe. People took what they could get for pain.
She asked for anaesthesia during childbirth. Clergymen protested on the grounds that God in the Bible said 'In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children.' However, Prince Albert pointed out that God himself had put Adam to sleep before creating Eve out of his rib, so the queen got her way.

And the reason we have the Nobel prize is that Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite (amongst other things) was worried that after he died he would only be remembered for how many people it had killed.
In fact when his brother died, one paper printed the wrong obituary, and published the one for Alfred Nobel instead, with the headline "The merchant of death is dead".
Strange reading your own obituary.
Anyway, to ensure he was remembered for good things after his death he donated all his money to fund the organisation that gives out these Nobel prizes.

Beware, Everton 123, aspirin is a much more powerful drug than people generally realize. Just a small dose has a dramatic effect upon one's blood platelets, reducing their numbers to the point where cerebral and other haemorrhages can occur.
Intestinal haemorrhage isn't very pleasant either. Far better to use some other analgesic.
