Canada Is About To Pass Sopa’s Evil Little Brother. Politely. →
“I’m a Canadian.
We’re a quiet bunch; prone to enjoying hockey, drinking stronger beer than our friends south of the border, and lovers of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
We also, apparently, have an inferiority complex when it comes to being evil dirt bags, because we’ve decided to pass our very own version of SOPA up here.
Only better*
Meet Bill-C11. Formerly Bill C-32. (I think they thought if they made the number lower people would care less about it?)
{…}
But, as innocuous as it sounds, C-11 does a whole lot that SOPA did with a few extra twists you might not find in the Wikipedia write-up.
Like your PVR? You can’t keep it under C-11.
Like ripping CDs to your iPod? Say bye-bye.
Hey, do you want to be able to unlock your $500 smartphone and take it to a provider less dedicated to violating your wallet? That won’t be allowed either.
Did you get accused of internet piracy but no evidence has been presented and a trial date hasn’t even been set? Under C-11 your ISP will now be forced to terminate your internet access.
And people say that governments can’t be bought.
{…}
There are only 14 days left people. Get active.”

It turns out that if you divide 1 by 998,001 you get all three-digit numbers from 000 to 999 in order.
Except for 998.

NY Times: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
NY Times: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
NY Times: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion? I don’t play poker on the Internet, either.

A wild Keaton approaches. Quiet now, this species is incredibly rare, almost never seen. They say to use caution when approaching a Keaton because Keaton’s are known to flail about and you wouldn’t want one flailing on you!

Wow. It’s not often you see a combination of ballet and circus/pole by someone who’s obviously trained in both. Anyone can throw on a pair of pointe shoes but those feet can’t be faked.
