I catch your drift, LK. Evidently, events from the Great White North doesn't get around too fast!
I hope someone lets the USCG know before they arrive, or there could be a fight to get in!

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts beats Tim Hortons and Dunkin Doughnuts
Sorry She Devil,
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts beats Tim Hortons and Dunkin Doughnuts. At my Vancouver office, Krispy Kreme doughnuts are gone right away, but when Tim Horton's doughnuts are there, it'll be sitting there for hours.

KK doughnuts are only good when they are hot off the conveyor belt.
Once they cool off, they are nothing special.
(I had a hot one last night, so this is breaking news.)

I haven't checked the others, but this caught my eye. Zambonis are an American invention.shedevil said:
Frank Zamboni was a native of Utah who developed the machine in Southern California, in 1940.
Zamboni Website
You are right. The game of baseball is descended from English games, such as cricket and rounders.The Bostonian said:
Zambonis are invented in Southern California?
Go figure. Well I guess money is one great incentive!!!!

Necessity is the Mother of Invention..?
We had no use for them. As a native Bostonian, you probably recall our Ice Age climate before Global Warming came along. We didn't need Zambonis, whereas Southern Cal had to enclose their rinks. We just flooded our ice surfaces at night; Californian rinks would have been swimming pools if they tried that.

Sure does makes sense.
Remember the good old days when winter was winter with snow and summer was summer without West Nile disease to worry about?

Wrong on #11. It was the British who did that. If it weren't for us, the British, you guys will be part of the evil empire today. Also on #13, it's us the British who fought all these wars. The only one that Canadians took action was WWII.
Curious, what would Superman be like today if his creator Joe Shuster and his family decided to stay in Toronto?
Maybe Superman would have a Maple leaf instead of the "S" symbol?
Any ideas?

13. We have the largest English population that

actually culeon you are kind of wrong. although the generals of the battles of 1812 were brits the majority of the armies fighting in that war were first nations canadians, expelled americans from after the civil war, as well as native born canadians. all the members of butlers rangers which were kind of like a guerilla strike force were not born nor set foot on the u.k. and they were an intregral part of that war.culeon said:
you are wrong on 13 as well but i don't feel like getting into it.
