I'll have to share that one w/the co-workers. There was a bit of a scene today between a US hockey fan and a Canadian Hockey fan in our office. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I don't know if this is nerdy or not, but it's pretty interesting.

Water is the only substance (only?) that is lighter as a solid than it is as a liquid.

Ah! The amazing properties of water!

One of our managers just gave me Chocolate for sharing Chiwas' facts with him! Thanks Chiwas! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I'm sending it to my niece who is studing in Calgary. I asked her to share it with her pals. She is not very sure about doing it -we are chatting through the messenger in this very moment, and she didn't want to show the pix to the near students.

Any complaints will be redirected to doc's mail. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I don't think this picture is a "knock" on Canada at all. Whoever made the picture just seems like a goofy, funny person. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Doc too - for wipping it out now and then. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
