So next Wednesday,the very talented Rick Mercer has another one of his
Talking To Americans (http://home.comcast.net/~wwwstephen/americans/) specials on the CBC.

More than just an opportunity to poke fun at silly Americans ,it's a chance for us Canadians to showcase the fact that we have an incredible sense of self depreciating humour when it comes to how we are stereotyped by those damn Yankees.

Here are some fun "facts" that have been revealed in previous episodes:

DID YOU KNOW that the capitol building of Canada is a big ass Igloo?
DID YOU KNOW that Canada has a five dollar coin affectionately known as "The Woody"?
DID YOU KNOW that a Canadian minute is actually longer than an American minute due to a strange anomaly in the space-time continuum?

Yes,these are all TRUE !!..*LOL*

I thought all of those were true. Another Canadian fun fact: there is only one road in Canada.

I don't really know.. I would guess maybe because I'm an Ex-MOD and given the service I gave to Nationstates for almost 2 years the least they could give me was a lousy avatar? *LOL* ;)
