Nobel gossip!

Have you heard that:

• Alfred Nobel originally planned to use his fortune for the construction of crematoria all over Europe, but opposition from the Catholic Church forced him to find another way to use his money; thus, the coveted prizes?

• And that Nobel never established a prize for mathematics because his wife had had an affair with a mathematician?

(Griffith, John; "Smoke Scheme," New Scientist, p. 48, January 14, 1995)
