CANADIAN.... eh !





So, What Do We Canadians Have To Be Proud Of ?

1. Smarties

5. Lacrosse is Canadian


6. Hockey is Canadian


7. Basketball is Canadian


8. Apple pie is Canadian


9. Mr. Dress-up beats Mr. Rogers


10. Tim Hortons beats Dunkin' Donuts


11. In the war of 1812, started by America , Canadians pushed the Americans back past their White House. Then we burned it, and most of Washington .. We got bored because they ran away. Then, we came home and partied........ Go figure.


12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany .

13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere. EVER. (We got clobbered in the odd battle but. Prevailed in ALL the wars)


14. Our civil war was fought in a bar and lasted a little over an hour.

15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, he slept in and missed the whole thing. He showed up just in time to get caught.


16. A Canadian invented Standard Time.


17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the world's oldest company.

19. We know what to do with the parts of a buffalo.


20. We don't marry our kin-folk.


21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis and the telephone. Also short wave radios that save countless lives each year.


22. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.


23. A Canadian invented Superman.

But to truly walk on water, you’ll have to study physics, rheology, hydrophobic substances, etc… and then you’ll have to define and redefine next-generation theories and complex hypotheses, which must be tested relentlessly.  When the tests fail, you must be ready to edit your theories and test them again.  This kind of work, the real kind, is precisely what enables us to make the impossible possible.

What about the: Hold my beer and watch this ! Crowd ? Thet invert stuff all the time !
