GeoJoeyBob Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 I stumbled upon a bug today when doing a map view of my bugs travels. It shows Canada as being in the United States. Check it out and see for yourself at the link below. http://www.geocaching.com/map/bugtrack.asp?tid=14896 [This message was edited by Deadite on July 31, 2002 at 08:50 PM.] Quote Link to comment
+pater47 Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Canada was recently purchased by an elderly American couple who had saved S&H Green Stamps for the last 62 years. They got for 69,562,000,002 stamps. (Slightly more, Canadian) While moving it down to their home, traffic was backed up for miles. Residents of Alaska were quoted as saying, 'Hey, I don't remember the ocean being on this side of the state too!' Their eldest daughter has been saving the stamps for a much shorter time, only 37 years. As soon as she gets 6 more books, she will be buying New Zealand and bringing it to her home in Tuscon. Mitsuko was nice clean-cut Joisy Girl. She's moved on now. We can let her go now. Quote Link to comment

Jeremy Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 It reveals how much I paid for my current mapserver. Why's everyone picking on me! Perhaps the text is on vacation? Jeremy Irish Groundspeak - The Language of Location Quote Link to comment
+mrcpu Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Actually, we've been quietly invading the US. Pretty soon you will be able to say things like "Excuse me, do you have a serviette? I think I spilt some poutine on your chesterfield." and know what you said! In addition to these slimple additions to your language, you will also be subjected to Universal Healthcare, a federal gun registry, a $1 and $2 coin, a 25% increase in your overall income and sales taxes and a 1000% decrease in your Defence budget (Don't worry about the last one because once your Canadian everyone will like you!). For your information: -Most Canadians do NOT own dogsleds or live in igloos (Althought I drove a dogsled once at a winter fair and I have built snowshelters) -In Canada, Christmas is on December 25th, just like in the USA (We've actually been asked that by someone in SC) -We don't say "Eh" at the end of every sentence eh. (Oh, yes... "ya'll" is not a word, "yous" is.) Please feel free to begin applying for your much coveted (Especially by Israeli intelligence officers!) CANADIAN PASSPORT!

Attila Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I heard someone say once that Canada could have had it all. American technology, British culture, and French food. Instead, they got American culture, British food, and French technology. "I've never been lost. However, I did misplace the camp for a few days." - Daniel Boone Quote Link to comment

+clatmandu Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Wow, I thought Detroit was the only place in the lower 48 north of Canada. Guess I need my eyes checked, eh? Now where did I put my touque? Quote Link to comment

Speaking of Canada being in the "wrong" place, everyone in Buffalo knows that Canada is WEST of here, not North (or South as that errant map would have us believe)! Of course "The Great White West" just doesn't sound right. Quote Link to comment
