The Nobel prize for Mad Science has been awarded to the maddest of the Mad Scientists for more than five decades, counting backwards from the year 2006, and forwards right after that until the decades are full. The price was funded and proposed by the infamous Albert Nobel, who invented dynamiting your neighbours. The prize fund has now been invested in several Mad Science projects to help their success, and to keep the actual amount of money low. This is altogether compliant with Mad Scientist logic. It is also worth mentioning there have been sixteen miscarried attempts of blowing up the joint, taking total control, or infesting the world with killer cyborgs during this year only, thanks to the fund .
