Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm just crazy.
No, your dad would just say he felt fine and leave out some important bit. That's not crazy, that's a daughter validly waiting for reassurance and confirmation.
Which reminds me, need to call dad so he can tell me he's fine. Then I'll talk to my stepmom to be sure he actually is.
See, Cass, now *you* are being great.
Insent, Nilly!
We have not won a medal yet. How can we not win in kayaking?
I was just reading that some half-French guy won Togo's first ever Olympic medal. In kayaking. He said he's only ever been to Togo once. As a baby. (His dad is from there)
What about instant coffee? I think a Canadian ancestor of mine invented instant coffee! Or at least manufactured it....
I'll have to check that out.
We also have Standard Time to our credit. Well it was a Scotsman living in Canada. And it wasn't approved until he left Canada, but there's a park named after him in Halifax!
I can see it now...Vancouver Olympic Committee brings you Time Zones! A journey through the world an hour at a time. Half an hour later in Newfoundland.
I got: the zipper, butter tarts and the snowmobile.
Basketball? Nah, that won't work. Um, blood transfusion? Hopefully that won't even come up.
Broomball? The Canadarm?
Yeah, I got nothin'.
I'll have to check that out.
Googling didn't come up with anything, so it must have just been a plant. I think it was the Lefebvres.
Wikipedia says:
Instant coffee was invented in 1901 by Satori Kato, a Japanese scientist working in Chicago, United States.
Curling???
Nilly, what is your dissertation about? The one-sentence version is fine, and it's okay to use technical terms because mr. flea wants to know. And he has a PhD - in SCIENCE! (Which is an American public-radio-based joke that you will not get, but funny, trust me.)
Curling???
That's SCOTTISH, it's not CRAP!
