They must endure the terrible harsh conditions that their primitive minds have led them to in this god forsaken land. 2. loneliness. CDNs are very few and far apart, so must be good at loneliness. 3. darkness. Canada has practically no sunshine. reading in the dark is an art. really they are not reading, just guessing at the words. Braille was invented by a CDN and he could actually see when he was further south. 4. mining very hard rock with picks and hammers. enuff said. 5. cutting down huge trees with nail files and dental floss. 6. stamping feet in snow. 7. shoveling. see 6. 8. CDNs are good at counting past ten with their socks off. A CDN invented the first digital computer. It had twenty large keys. You had to take off your shoes to operate it, and it could count all the way to 20. And, as bill Gates says, "and beyond." How far beyond is of course theoretical as no one has more than twenty fingers and toes unless they are weird. In Canada, 'past twenty' is known as 'naked infinity'. It is forbidden by the Church, so as Heisenberg has pointed out, it does not exist if you cannot legally measure it. 9. A CDN invented the take out pizza, as he was frozen in, and could not convince the horse to trot all the way to the pizza parlour. By threatening to burn the place down come spring, he got the proprietor to deliver a frozen round pie, that he later heated up with a blow torch. 10. A CDN invented the telephone because he wanted to a pizza and the horse would not leave the stable. It should be clear by now that nobody would invent anything unless he weren't living right in the first place. EC:<-}
