Canadians are good at hockey because we eat bacon. |

Right, perhaps he has him mixed up with Captain Kirk and Scotty. Two fine Canadian lads. |

Gee, I always thought that Pauling was born and educated in the U.K.
Thanks for the tip. |

| I don't think you can talk about famous Canadians without talking about all the comedians we've produced: Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, John Candy, Martin Short and Eugene Levy (to name a few). As you can tell, I was a huge fan of the old SCTV Network. |

Lots of Canadians became famous in Europe, China, and many other countries. Should we only count the ones who became famous in Canada. Imagine not counting General Patton as famous! Though I believe someone else already called you an idiot so I don't need to. |

He moved to America when he was 10 and actually developed it with his American friends while in America. So, while a Canadian did create him, the Canadian connection isn't that strong. |
