Happy Coffins

SO, a Singapore orginazation has created a series of "Happy Coffins" to make funerals less morbid (Click link for article). I think it'll be cool to get people's opinions on this because there are some who believe that funerals should be sad and covered in black. On the other hand, there are people who believe in celebrating the life of the person who died and looking at death in a positive light, in which case they may want a "Happy Coffin."

Who Gets Nobel Prize Money When the Winner is Jailed?

I found this article (click link) interesting because I'm surprised that Liu Xiaobo was able to stay in the running for the Nobel Prize once he was imprisoned. The offenses under which he was charged didn't physically harm anyone, but I'm surprised that there isn't some rule in the "Nobel rule book" that disqualifies him. Nothing personal against him and I'm not saying I don't support whatever he's for, I just thought it interesting that he was still in the running.
