Canada to troll the "North Pole Ownership" party.

Now this article might not seem like a WTF article at first, but a second glance reveals the real reason I posted this:

Quote

A specially equipped DC-3 will begin flying from airstrips on Ellesmere Island and Greenland all the way up to the top of the world this weekend to start mapping the undersea ridges that will determine which Arctic nation controls that part of the sea bed.

I didn't just read what I think I just read, did I?

Wait, what?

A DC-3

Are you fucking kidding me?!

I don't mean to slag on one of the greatest aircraft of all time, but even though it's all so much symbolic bullshit, I'd like to think that a high-priority government mission regarding the territorial sovereignty of one of the planet's only two poles could do better than sending out a single aircraft that's probbaly been stolen from Admiral Byrd.

Hooray! Now we can drink in Utah without a license or club membership!

Wait, you guys had to pay just to enter a bar?

I think this one prompts a switch back to my GYWO exploding head.

Mormon country, son. You're lucky it's legal to drink at all.

Romosome · « **Reply #792 on:** March 19, 2009, 08:23:36 PM »

This is terrible. Imagine how many laws they're going to try to get passed in other states now that they're drunk.

I've little interest in glorified penal colonies, and biker gangs are small-time.

Now excuse me, a call is coming in from my daughter.

In case you were entertaining the slightest idea you'd like to go to Dubai, but really needed a solid reason to not go:

Dubai bans nudity, dancing, kissing and holding hands

that's gonna go over great with the people building the world's largest resort hotel skyscrapers and the artificial resort islands shaped like palm trees and such there.
