Three more oddball Canada-related bits, and then I'll stop. I swear.
First, here's a bit of Canadiana I think is way cool. Canadian Club Whisky had a long-running promotion in the '70s to drop cases of their whisky into remote locations (Kilimanjaro, North Pole) for adventurers to find; many were actually found. Strangely, the website of Canadian Club itself doesn't give much description of this very cool thing -- if you were them, wouldn't you have a whole big feature on this? They apparently even ran a similar promotion in the last year, but have nothing about it on their website.
Second, of course, there's the triple-crazy chainsaw-at-the-border guy. Canadian. (Ok, American too. But this is a theme post.) You've probably seen this, but if you haven't, brace yourself. If you have a strong constitution, click on the little picture for a bigger version. I want to make a smart remark, but the mind just boggles.
Finally, via Slashdot, we learn that Canada has lost the magnetic north pole. What pick-up line will Canadian planetary scientists use now?

Hey, you're, like, hot, eh? (Spoken like Bob and Doug Mackenzie.)
