As I jokingly tell my friends here, "Happy 3rd day after Canada Day!"


CHIMO!

Garry...what's your point?

I'll bet an equal percentage of Canadians can't sing the words to the "new" "Oh, Canada".

Damned if I can...and damned if I'm gonna learn the "new" words.

Both countries do a poor job of making history interesting enough for students to remember once the student gets through their next recess. Jay Leno does a segment where he steps out into the street and asks the simplest questions of passers-by. The nonsensical answers provide a good laugh for his audience. I'd like to stand outside a Canadian University and ask these simple questions:

Q: Who was Canada's 2nd Prime Minister?
A: No, not John Adams

Q: Who was Canada's Prime Minister during WWII?
A: No, not Roosevelt.

Q: When was the October Crisis?
A: No, the year, not the month!

Q: When was the war of 1812?
A: Correct!

Default Useless fact we don't need to know

July 4th at Coney Island-
A Japanese man won his second consecutive hot dog eating contest by eating 53 1/2 hot dogs in 12 minutes.This year he slowed down because last year he ate 64 in the same time frame.

Alex Blair,where were you when we needed you ??
