Don't believe everything you hear about insurance agents. Some of us are decent people; I may or may not be one of them. When I'm not working, I'm usually at the bar, learning to play golf (badly), at the gym (one of these days), watching hockey, tailgating before a football game (Saturday mornings in the fall are the best time to be in MI), shooting pool, throwing darts (wear your goggles) or watching something on the history channel (because everyone has a little bit of nerd in them).
I'm an excellent cook, or so the survivors have told me. My beer-brats are world famous, but everything else is best labeled "experimental."
Yes, I am Canadian. Here are some other fine products that were invented/discovered in Canada, or by Canadians:
•Basketball - Dr. James A. Naismith
•Birchbark canoe - Canada's Natives
•Chocolate bar - James K. Ganong
•Electric cooking range - Thomas Ahearn
•Electric wheelchair - George J. Klein
•Electron microscope - The University of Toronto
•Ginger ale - John J. McLaughlin
•Ice hockey
•Insulin - Frederick Banting
•Kerosene - Dr. Abraham Gesner
•Light bulb - Henry Woodward (later sold the patent to Thomas Edison)
•Mobile blood-transfusion service - Norman Bethune
•Pacemaker - Wilfred Bigelow
•Paint roller - Norman Breakey
•Panoramic camera - John Cannon
•Retractable beer case handle - Steve Pasjac
•Snow blower - Arthur Sicard
•Snow shoes - Canada's Natives
•Snowmobile - Joseph-Armand Bombardier
•Standard time - Sandford Fleming
•Velcro - George de Mestral
•Zipper - Gideon Sundback
In short: thank a soldier for your freedom, thank a Canadian for everything else! Don't get me wrong; living in The States has taught me that there's more to life than cold beer and hockey...It's just really boring stuff that isn't worth talking about.
