EvilGentleman: While Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds exhibits are what I personally consider to be inappropriate and disrepectful to the dead [[http://www.koerperwelten.com/en/pages/home.asp]], at least I can see the educational merit of the exhibitions (currently in Philly,......

Elicar: Canadians are obssessed with coffee [[http://www.coffeeassoc.com/coffeeincanada.htm]], especially {Tim Horton's} coffee. (That's how we show our patriotism). Forget your designer Starbuck's coffee. People are lining up at Tim Horton's. They say that we have a coffee......
