1. It's lame to expose your lame nationalist beliefs to people you've only just met. That kind of stuff makes me a little bit embarrassed to be Canadian sometimes. And please stop saying "we"....it makes me think of situations when I was younger where people would say things like "We [The Toronto Maple Leafs] are going to kick your [The Ottawa Senators] arse tonight....YEAHHHHH!"

2. I don't really expect most Americans (or any other nationality) to know much about Canadian history. Hell, the stuff you're talking about was extremely boring when I learned it in high school, as it still is.

That's all I have to say about that part of the thread.

OP, thanks for posting this. It made me think of this: http://www.arctic.uoguelph.ca/cpl/Traditional/myth/sedna.htm

Also, Tiktaalik makes me think of Tiddalick The Thirsty Frog. One of my beloved favourite books as a child. Little known fact, Canadian parents encourage their children to forge friendships with books, and only books. I think it's because of all the trees in Canada.

yep, just a big ball of smoke and mirrors.

I'm actually surprised someone read what I wrote after seeing that laundry list of whatever that stuff is called.

Who honestly makes reference to a rivalry between the Leafs and the Sentators anyways. Well unless your from Ottawa then maybe I can understand. I actually didnt know there really was any major "rivalry" between those two teams until i moved to Ottawa and then its only the Senator fans that tend to think that way. In Toronto the only rivalvry we (I mean "we" as the people I know and not the universal citizenry of Toronto or Canada, just so that you dont get your panties in a bunch again) ever heard about was with the Montreal Canadians. Honestly don't know a single person who cares about a team thats only been around for what 15 years, is enough to consider having a 'rivarly' with them.

And I honestly dont expect anyone to know Canadian history. But I do expect a nation to know its own history, hence why i would expect Americans to know about the War of 1812. But then again they have started and fought so many wars it can easiely get lost in the mix I guess.

gross...did you just talk about my panties?

Anyhow, I agree it's terribly ridiculous and sad that such rivalries exist, but what I'm really curious about is what do you think of tiktaalik???

Tiktaalik, I dont think I have ever heard of. I was always a Goosebumps reader when I was a kid. Never could just read one book or a series of books with the same character. Then again a series of books with basically the same plot isnt any better.

My favorite one is the one with the monster amusement park where the humans are actually the scary monsters and the real monsters were the main characters, whew now that was a good plot twist lol...............

ok, I'm doing a kind of laugh/pout thing...there just isn't an emoticon to represent it.

yawarakaijin, your girlfriend must be a happy lady.

espoir,

Tiktaalik roseaseaaawhatever is the name of the creature that was found that dates back to be really super old. Tiddalick is a frog that drank all the water. I was just asking a question about what this thread was really about...but what I got was even better. Thanks for making me laugh...only thirty minutes then it's go time.

I completely forgot what this thread was originally about haha

It kind of went off in its own direction from some boring scientific discovery, to wonderful humour, to ignorant cdn bashing, to equally stupid counter arguments (yes my comments, you know the whole internet debate blah, blah, blah special olympics thing.), to I have no idea now.
