Current Rant: "CNN Has Some Explaining to Do!" http://craptasticnation.blogspot.com/[^]
Ya, but while I'm sitting on my chesterfield wearing my toque petting my moose and drinking a cold beer from my 30 year-old fridge, I'm NOT out tearing up the highways in my Hummer looking for a reason to shoot my constitutional firearm. Fair trade, I'd say :) Cheers, Drew.

Ah, but a second study (by yours truly) has shown that production, distribution and reading of New Scientist contributes over 100 times the CO2 to the atmosphere than all the beer fridges on the planet. So carry on you Canadian partakers and enjoyers of alcoholic berverages!
"On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't. "I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it." -Tina Farrell, a 23 year old thicky from Levenshulme, Manchester.

You should have some background on this story, to put things into context. See, back in the late 18th century, what is now mid-western Canada was rife with Indians and Bear Traders. The Bear Traders were would-be fur traders who felt that hauling pelts across brutal terrain just wasn't macho enough, and so turned to hauling live bears around as a show of strength. They died a lot. Mostly from bear wounds. The Indians had snuck in from India (by way of Siberia) many years earlier, with the intention of waiting around for us to show up so they could take our jobs. However, the only jobs we brought were Bear Trading and selling things to Indians, so that plan fell through and they all became hippies instead. At least, that's what Alex MacKenzie claimed, although it is now suspected that he made up the whole thing in order to get free beer. Now, when the US was formed, the visionaries who helped establish it realized that someday it would extend far to the west, and therefore it'd be a good idea to survey out the potential territories. Also, we'd just won Louisiana by claiming to be the real Napoleon, and wanted to make sure that it wasn't full of effeminate French fur traders (or insane Canadian Bear Traders). The rest of the story you know: Lewis and Clark completed their storied expedition, beating the Vikings and picking up a nasty heroin addiction. But the Canuks never forgave us for showing them up, and that's how we arrive at the situation we have today. (no, i didn't actually read the article... not big on clicking links with no description as to why i'd care.)

Thank you, thank you thank you, for pointing out just how far up its own arse AGW hysteria has gone.:)

my beer fridge, you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands. :) Incidently, I have two of them. :-O One at the cottage which only operates from April till October which is about a 30 year old fridge, and the other at home which is only a mini fridge that is 7 years old. :)

Either this is a cultural phenomenon, or we're related. I have the exact same setup.

We're both Canadian, so I'd go with the related thing. :)

IF you want to see something really terrifying, look at the pool results. A majority of the imbeciles responding (as of 3 minutes ago) think forecasters should be held responsible if their predictions don't match what actually happens. :omg::wtf::((

It still stings that we sent you packing in 1812, doesn't it?

No idea. I didn't read the article either. I was just poking back after you said something about "showing the Canucks up". :)
