  8. @MDCarriere Respectfully, you're comparing apples with asteroids.
  9. Let me guess: A shoebox in the middle of a freeway. MT @sammykohn What you can buy for $99,999 in Toronto.
  10. @wildernesssply Most of the experiments involve monitoring how well ecosystems recover. That's essentially the point.
  11. Yeah, let's build more Potemkin Villages. That'd be awesome.
  12. @MarkMruss It's a horse camp, plenty of room. Only one site.

  18. (Sorry, it's been almost a year since I last dissed Nickelback. I have a quota of predictable comments to maintain.)
  19. Dunno, but I bet Nickelback has the answer. RT @tim_co_op How do you make a setlist when all your songs are the same?
  20. @KulyMarc Pizza perogy? Sacrilege. I'm OK with creative fillings, but that's just a diminutive pizza pop. No processed fillings, ever.
