3. That was in the press release he issued 44 minutes after learning that he won...
"The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity," Gore said in comments e-mailed by his office 44 minutes after the prize was announced at 5 a.m. Eastern time. "It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level."

He said he would donate 100 percent of the proceeds of the award to the Alliance for Climate Protection.

6. I didn't notice. I know she had a son in Iraq.
That's enough to add a few years.

She's a fellow passionate Red Sox fan, so she always looks fine to me.:applause:
