Weird Al Canadian Idiot
This is Weird Al's cover of American Idiot by Green Day, and a rather good slide show to go with it. Here are the lyrics by the way: Weird Al Yankovic Canadian Idiot Lyrics
Don’t want to be a Canadian idiot
Dont want to be some beer swillin’ hockey nut
and do I look like some frost bitten hosehead
I never learned my alphabet from A to zed
They all live on donuts and moose meat
and they leave the house without packin’ heat
never even bring their guns to the mall
and you know what else is too funny
their stupid monopoly money
can’t take ‘em seriously at all
Well maple syrup and snow’s what they export
they treat curling just like it’s a real sport
they think their silly accent is so cute
can’t understand a thing they’re talking aboot
sure they got their national health care
cheaper meds for prime rates and clean air
then again well they got celine dion
eat their weight in kraft macaroni
and dream of driving a zamboni
all over saskatchewan
Don’t want to be a Canadian idiot
We’ll figure out their temperature in Celcius
see the map they’re hovering right over us
tell you the truth it makes me kinda nervous
always hear the same kind of story
break your nose and they’ll just say sorry
tell me what kind of freaks are that polite
It’s gotta mean they’re all up to something
so quick before they see it coming
time for a pre-emptive strike

This is an interesting article. Contains a few bits of useful information.
I must say I'm quite impressed with IE7. The tab feature works extremely well and it integrated all of my existing settings such as my Google toolbar with ease. I haven't experimented with the improved RSS function but understand the detection capabilities are impressive. I've also read the search function using multiple engines is something I need to try but let's face it, I really am a Google fan. There certainly doesn't seem to be any downside to upgrading from 6 if you have the requisite OS. Apparently IE7 will only work with WinXP SR2 and the upcoming Vista. It seems IE7 relies on the security provided by the XP operating system.

This is the good news. "A pioneering HIV/AIDS vaccine developed by a virology professor at The University of Western Ontario is being readied for clinical trial.
The vaccine developed by Dr. Yong Kang, of the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry could be available for therapeutic use within three years and for use as a preventive vaccine within the next six years." They do some really fine science at the UWO here in London Ontario.
IQ - Genetic ?
The University of Western Ontario is also the academic home of Phillipe Rushton. Yes, the same Phillipe Rushton who devined physical, intellectual and anatomical differences between the races. Now he reports: "Men are smarter than women, according to a controversial new study that adds another cinder to the fiery debate over whether gender impacts general inetelligence". I have to say in defence of Rushton, I honestly believe he analyzed available data and produced a report. Well probably not him but one of his research assistants who happens to be quite proficient in database programming. Is it wrong to say for example that on average, people of African heritage tend to have skin several shades darker than the average Caucasian? Also to be fair the difference is only 3.6 percentage points.

Guardian Unlimited reports: "Security at the Prime Minister's residence is under review after an intruder armed with a large kitchen knife managed to climb into a secure area outside Downing Street." Thank goodness someone was watching the back door. It's certainly safer at Downing than at the Canadian PMs home at Sussex Drive. Mind you that was back in 1995. Hopefully it's a little more secure now.

J-Walk pointed me to this very interesting pdf file that contains a lot of Google functions I wasn't aware of. I can see it will come in quite handy. Things like define:phrase or word retrieves definitions fast and easy.

The Works of Pablo Picasso
I've always been fascinated with Picasso's work. The Online Picasso Project has an extensive archive of his works. I had know idea just how prolific an artist he was. This site containes 11,133 catalogued artworks. I've saved a number of these images and use them as a slide show screen saver. I've heard that Picasso was known to draw small artistic representations on scraps of paper and napkins to pay his bar tab on occasion. I certainly wish someone would accept a chart of a database structure from me in payment of my tab. I'd sign it of course.

Furgler Hardware Summer Video
The previous post about Camel Toe reminded me I hadn't been to the Bob & Tom site in quite some time. Now, I know today is Labour Day the official end of summer, but this is still too good to pass up. From the boys at Bob & Tom , they take a call from Furgler Hardware who apparently has a summer instruction in house video. It's a radio show so listen to the soundtrack here.
