Top 10

Over the years, there have been 707 players that have played at least one game with the Montreal Canadiens. Of those, there were plenty that I liked that never played up to their full potential in Montreal. Here is the top 10 (keep in mind that I have been a fan since the late 80s, [...]

Time travel troubles

Okay, so Lost is now experimenting with time travel. It’s been rumoured for months now, and hinted at, but this is the first time the show actually mentions it.
While some people may love the idea, I think this will be the start of the downfall of the show. Once you have time travel, nothing matters [...]

Fire the teacher

My wife is a teacher. I understand the pressures they go through. Sometimes they are a babysitter to 30 kids, other times they are seen as a villian who just don’t understand. But most teachers give it their all, and deserve to be thanked.
That’s why what a teacher did in Florida is horrible, and she deserves [...]

Lost: What?

So tonight is the season finale for Lost. Lots of questions going on, but I think the video below shows the main question most of us have.

Child porn is not art

I’m sorry, but I can’t support anything that says child nudity is art.
Cate Blanchett has come out in favour of Bill Henson (an “artist”) that had a gallery taken down when it was discovered he had nude photos of 12- and 13-year-olds. (Read the story here)
She has signed a letter that says “we wish to [...]

Another baby for sale

A couple of days ago, I wrote about a German couple who posted their baby for sale on eBay for one euro. They said it was a hoax.
Never let it be said that Canadians aren’t stupid either. A B.C. couple posted their one-week old baby for sale on Craigslist. When the police went to their [...]

Free gun with car purchase

I wonder if there’s not enough drive-by shootings in Kansas City.
Why else would a car dealership give away a gun when you purchase a car. (see story here).
There is a choice of a $250 gas card or a $250 credit for a gun. The guy who owns Max Motors said of his first 30 customers, [...]

Hockey humour

A couple of fun things before Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals tonight.
First, here’s a video of Marc-Andre Fleury before Game 1.

And from the CHL, here’s what happened when the trophy was awarded at the Memorial Cup last night to the Spokane Chifs (about a minute in).

Passenger wins marijuana

Imagine you went on a vacation somewhere, opened your suitcase and found 142 grams of pot in your suitcase. You’d probably be worried that a) it’s part of some police sting operation, or b) you’ve somehow got yourself mixed up with the wrong crowd and would be nervous they’re coming after you.
Well, something like that [...]

Baby for sale

A German couple is apparently in trouble because of a “joke.”
Apparently, part of the “joke” was that the woman put her one-year-old son up for sale on eBay (story can be found here).
The police were called when some people saw the “joke” actually listed.
The police are investigating if the “joke” is actually child trafficking.
This was [...]
