I was browsing here a couple days ago yet somehow missed this...

Thankyou and also happy 4th o' July to my southern friends. :D

CG, I've somehow never heard that joke. Its a good one. :D

I was hanging with some of my friends from work on Canada Day for a little while and they were celebrating with the other ol' Canadian tradition:

Nice. :suspicious:

So one of my daughters (who shall remain nameless) is counting license plates, trying to find one from each of the 50 states. As she was reading the list to me, she mentioned Ontario.

:nono: Guess I need to concentrate a bit more on geography this coming school year.

I thought those of you in Ontario would appreciate knowing that you've been annexed by the U.S. :P

I've been informed a few times of this by Stephen Colbert. :P

Why don't you take Quebec instead? :whistle:

No, please, be our guest!

As long as we can keep Montréal.

Lali, you should introduce your daughter to one of those geographical web quizzes I was working on before (speaking of which, I should dust them off to see if I can still find all your states).

I am proud to say I never forget Rhode Island.

I met a guy from Rhode Island once. :D

I heard that Canada is actually spelled wrong around most of the world. The correct spelling is "CND".

What happened is someone from the states asked a Canadian how it's spelled and he said "C eh? N eh? D eh?"
Hey, that was a state secret!!!! :rage:
I must tell that to a Canadian friend of mine. If she doesn't know it already.
