Loki, African Elephant....Very Funny. Now for something original, something Canadian! Forget hockey! Canadians go crazy over World Cup TORONTO, June 28 (AFP) - It's too hot for ice hockey, Canada's traditional passion, so Canadians are going crazy for this year's World Cup of soccer in France. One fan has taught his tropical fish to to score goals in exchange for fish food. Another serves her husband mashed potatoes in the form of a soccer ball. "Call us crazy, but there is nothing in life like a good soccer game," said potato-masher Kitty Schafer, 77, of Toronto. Canada's national team didn't qualify for this year's tournament. But that hasn't stopped readers of The Toronto Star from participating in the paper's Internet contest to find the number one fan, "who eats, sleeps, breathes the World Cup." Sunny Fok says he's taught his goldfish the game. "I am the No. 1 soccer fan in the whole world," the student wrote. "I have a tank of fish at home, and I made a mini soccer ball for them to play." "I've divided them up into teams, and each time a fish flips the ball into a little net goal thing that I've made, I give them fish food." The claim could not be independently confirmed.

LOL..... The Polish people realizing that the Pope was Polish, they decided to form a committee to, "enhance the view of the Polish people around the world". They decided that the momentum, given the success of the Pope, was definitively in their favor, so they decided to go out and search to pursue a good cause to succeed in enhancing their image.... After careful thought the committee reported to its Chairman that they would go and build the longest bridge in the world for the benefit of the world people. The Chairman said excellent, lets go and hire the best Polish civil engineers, and let's go do it! Three years later, after many successful "mid-project reports", they come in with the final report. Mr. Chairman, we have good news, and unfortunately bad news too.... Oh no, what happened everything was going so well..... give me the bad news first, I must face this immediately! Well, Mr. Chairman, we successfully completed the bridge, and indeed in schedule and inside budget, except we build the bridge, the longest in the world, in the Sahara dessert.... Oh noooooo ! says the Chairman, now we have succeeded in being the most complete morons! What can possibly be the good news ??!! The head engineer answers: ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' Mr. Chairman, there are 500 Italians fishing off of it!
