Well, it was rather humorous when wiki said that, if you ever happen to visit Little Canada, you must first exchange your dollars for Canadian currency at the Sinclair gas station on Little Canada Road and 35E.  You have officially blown my mind. And I don't know who this Kim person is. Maybe I should head to wiki to find out? Or maybe I'd rather not know?
You are correct ma'am. Which, pretty much, makes my point.  |

Well, it was rather humorous when wiki said that, if you ever happen to visit Little Canada, you must first exchange your dollars for Canadian currency at the Sinclair gas station on Little Canada Road and 35E. You have officially blown my mind. That's not even the whole of it! Read this paragraph: " In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition by the United States government. At the time others countries also laid claim to what is now Minnesota. The Canadians had various settlements in Minnesota, the largest of which was 10 miles North of Saint Paul, MN. President Thomas Jefferson decided that the best way to avoid war, was to allow the land to remain under Canadian control. Therefor all the residents of Little Canada are full Canadian citizens, with access to free health care, signs in both English and French and pride in it's citizens such as Wayne Gretzky and the band Rush. If you ever happen to visit Little Canada you must first exchange your dollars for Canadian currency at the Sinclair gas station on Little Canada Road and 35E." I don't think I fully read the wiki article you all were working on, so you'll have to tell me how that little bit of nonsense compares to whatever you all were writing up, providing of course that you all weren't actually writing something serious. (Seriousness? Has that ever been the case here? Okay, maybe a few threads, but not many.) That is, if anyone is still able to say anything sensible after reading that. And I don't know who this Kim person is. Maybe I should head to wiki to find out? Or maybe I'd rather not know?
You are correct ma'am. Which, pretty much, makes my point. Yeah, I figured that.  Still, you haven't said anything against the dictionary. |

It was an easy thread to find. (Don't you agree?) Plus, dystopia has a pretty good search feature here. And why save something in a file when it's archived on Golfhos? |

It was wikipedia where I found all those fine facts. (And then I found all those fine facts again here.  ) |
