I've finally gotten around to listening to my downloaded Arrogant Worms songs. The Last Saskatchewan Pirate... *snerrk*

I have this horrible sinking feeling that one of my posts in the very near future will be on the topic of How To Fake Being Canadian. Lord knows I was doing it without meaning to my ENTIRE TIME in Alaska. I got mistaken for a Canadian something like four or five times - once by a Japanese woman, once by an Anglophone Quebecois lady... ooy. I wasn't even wearing the baseball cap.

How To Pass As A Canadian.

This posting came about as a result of being mistaken for Canadian when I was in Alaska. It happened even after I stopped wearing the hat that said "RCMP - GRC - POLICE" on it, so I figure I must be doing something that gives off Canadian vibes... anyway. Here's a bit of a list.

( I'm open to suggestions, folks. )

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Giant rodent astonishes science
By Jonathan Amos

The fossil remains of a gigantic rodent that looked something like a monster guinea pig have been identified by scientists in Venezuela.

The 700-kilogram beast - about the size of a buffalo - lived among the reeds and grasses of an ancient river system that threaded its way into the Caribbean Sea eight million years ago.

Researchers think the creature, which was 10 times as big as today's largest rodents, could have run in huge packs.

Evidence suggests it also had to dodge the constant attentions of super-sized crocodiles and carnivorous birds, which stood three metres tall. . .

They're calling it Guinea-zilla. No, I am not kidding.

Sex trap for giant squid
A team of scientists from New Zealand is hoping to use sex to record the first ever images of a live giant squid.

Marine biologist Dr Steve O'Shea is leading the group hoping to lure the huge cephalopod into view by taking advantage of what he believes is an annual migration of the animals to a particular area in New Zealand waters.

He thinks the female giant squid - like its cousin the cuttlefish - may secrete a sexual scent to attract a mate.

"Because the animals are migrating into New Zealand waters to breed, they are very randy," the Auckland University of Technology researcher said.

"The freezer bag at home - to my wife's disgust - is actually full of giant squid gonad samples. We're going to grind all of this up, and we're going to have this puree coming out from the camera, squirting into the water.

"Hopefully the male giant squid, absolutely driven into a frenzy, is going to come up and try to mate with the camera.

"This is the dream - we're going to get this sensational footage of the giant squid trying to do obscene things with the camera."

I'm ... going to go hide from the good people of New Zealand now.
