How to pass for Canadian (link from mabfan).

What you risk by legalizing gay marriage (link from nancylebov).

Feed the phishers (link from brokengoose). This article suggests that a way to increase the cost of phishing scams is for everyone to respond, giving bogus data. Sure, when the phishers send out a million pieces of email they'll get a hundred suckers, but which hundred amidst all the other responses?

Conflict resolution, a good commentary on Parsha Korach (by aspaqlaria).

Notes from living on Canada's border.

1.) Tim Horton's photo is in all his shops. In Canada, he wears a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey; in Buffalo, a Sabres jersey.
2.) Canada bars vs. American bars
a.) 1 AM closing vs. 4 AM closing
b.) good beer vs. er, beer
c.) 18 drinking age vs. 21 drinking age
d.) dancers, naked and in your lap vs. topless and 10' away
[This is based on my college years, some things may have changed]
3.) A request for a $1 bills in Canada means you want your change in American cash if possible.
4.) It's not unusual to go over at noonish, just for their Chinese food.

Love the gay marriage and phishing links.

Does Canada have blue laws like we do? Or can you get a beer on a Sunday there?
