Facebook. Only a success because MySpace was worse. MySpace, only a success because LiveJournal was worse. LiveJournal, only a success because GeoCities was worse. GeoCities, only a success because AOL was worse. AOL, only a success because BBSes were too hard for grandma. I really miss BBSes. *sigh*

Facebook has my minimum amount of attention.

Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Who knew? (Besides Canadians, of course.) So, in the spirit of the holiday that is not Columbus Day, we should all think of the reasons for which we are grateful for Canada, eh?

My list of reasons to be thankful for Canada:

• Canadian Bacon
• Quebec. The entire concept is hilarious. I love how they’ve really committed to the joke. I can’t help but think that Quebec is to France as Mexico is to Spain.
• The Canadian dollar coin is called a ‘Looney’. Sure, it’s because a Loon is on the backside of the coin, but still.
• Tuques
• A great method of camouflage for Americans travelling abroad: Wear something with Maple leaf imagery.
• And let’s be honest – it’s great to have a neighbor you can make fun of who isn’t scary.

Hey, do you know how a Canadian spells Canada? C eh N eh D eh!  :)

Sarcasm is truth, truth sarcasm.

Some people consider cows sacred, and will not eat beef, but I say that if we weren’t supposed to eat cows, they wouldn’t be so damned delicious. But this makes for a puzzle, for if the cow is holy, how can it be damned delicious? It’s like that saying, “It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” It’s a philosophical turducken!

Q: “Do you think PGMs sometimes ask stupid questions?”
A: “You have that inverted. The correction question is: ‘Do PGMs sometimes ask intelligent questions?’”
A: “The answer is ‘yes’.”
A: “Then again, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”

Okay, so with people buying lots of “NetBooks,” with screen resolutions of 1024×600, the average resolution for web users is gonna (or is already) go down. Of course, this effects web design.

I call this effect, “Pixel Downsizing.”

The new Ultimate Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Diet is sweeping the nation: The more you THINK about losing weight, the more calories your brain burns, thus causing you to lose weight. It’s a miracle of self-delusion!
