and the hijacking of the main page - this was sent to me by a friend in Canada. So blame him - I already told him to bite me! So, what do Canadians have to be proud of? 1. Smarties 2. Crispy Crunch & Coffee Crisp 3. The size of our footballs fields and one less Down 4. Baseball is Canadian 5. Lacrosse is Canadian 6. Hockey is Canadian 7. Basketball is Canadian 8. Apple pie is Canadian 9. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass 10. Tim Hortons kicks Krisy Kreme's ass 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, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie, who was insane and hammered all the time.We got bored because they ran away, so 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. 14. Our civil war was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour. 15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing...but showed up just in time to get caught. 16. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on. 17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the worlds oldest company 18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes. 19. We still know what to do with all 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, the telephone and 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. BUT MOST IMPORTANT! 23. ....the handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on. OOOOoohhhhh Canada!! Oh yeah... and our elections only take one day. Phil Boyd MCP "I took the road less traveled..."

>>18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes. I've apparently been misinformed as to the purpose of dog sled teams.... Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either one being made. The things that come to those who wait are usually the things left by those who got there first.

> >21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, > penicillin, :confused: >zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios that save countless lives each year. > Just like the evening news, when you know something different is the case in one story it leaves you very sceptical about all the rest. Or am I taking this to seriously ? :suss: http://www.christepiscopalschool.org/millenium/fleming.htm Please enlighten me ! Rgs, Robert. "Fleming was far from being just a spectator in the development of his discovery, and was also directly involved in stimulating the British program. However, wartime necessities drove the major commercial development over to the USA and Canada leading in a remarkably short time to a new era for infectious disease prevention and treatment. Canada had every reason to appreciate his discovery, since one of the early and developmental penicillin plants formed a division of the Connaught Medical Research Laboratories, University of Toronto, in the latter part of World War II and for a few years thereafter. Concurrently, Ayerst, McKenna & Harrison, today known as Wyeth-Ayerst Canada Inc., geared up its research facilities to produce penicillin for the Canadian Government and provided the first Canadian penicillin to be sent to Canadian forces overseas. That early war effort not only helped to save thousands of lives and sustain medical supplies throughout the war, but also brought Ayerst into prominence in the Canadian pharmaceutical industry.

>>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, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie, who was insane and hammered all the time.We got bored because they ran away, so we came home and partied ... Go figure... Of course one would think Canada, being the nice place it is, would have saved the world from America but having the party in Washington and staying put. But alas, no, the wild call of the moose was just too strong wasn't it? *sighs* btw, why celebrate such an odd year? 134 sounds like something out of Math class, not a nice whole number like 100 or 150. Or do you nutty moose lovers celebrate Canada Day every year? ;P regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org

> Or do you nutty moose lovers celebrate Canada Day every year? We do it every year, and sometimes twice ;P, but when the year happens to be a nice whole number like 150 the party will just get bigger. Moose lovers? naw you got us all wrong, we like Beavers -- just take a look at our ROOTS sweaters. :rolleyes: -Ben --------- On the topic of code with no error handling -- It's not poor coding, it's "optimistic" ;)
