"Canada" is 50% the letter "A".

just about anything beats the US's hodge podge of "hey, we're redesigning this thing AGAIN, but still have all the old ones in circulation, too."

Actually, I usually associate the word 'Canada' with the word 'Candida' (sorry, it's the years I worked in Pharmacy that does it to me). If you don't know what Candida is, google it. I don't know why, but for some reason, that's what I always think of when I see the word 'Canada'...

They're soo cool. Our bills are kinda plastic too, very similar in feel to yours, but yours are a little thinner. I just love the cool holographic stuff on them. The US dollars are gonna spin me out. They all look the same to me, and I'm sure I'm going to hand over the wrong note and look like an Idiot, because they're all the same colour. I also can't believe they're paper...I thought that went out years ago!

Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be
right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.

Its a special type of paper that's really like cloth and is very hard to imitate. There was a case years ago where a counterfitter was caught because he did use the right paper and that paper was only sold by like one or two printer suppliers in the country and so the cops just had to look at their customer lists and he was like the only person who had ordered that paper in the last ten years.

I found a Japanese yen in a McDonald's parking lot a couple years back. I have no clue how it got there but I still have it.

Someone gave me a coin from the Cayman Islands. It has a turtle on it. I like turtles.

I saw two turtles today, but they were hiding underneath the water. Only their heads were poking up. When I went near they would dive under the water.

That same water was frozen just a month ago and I was riding my snowmobile on it. Everything is always changing. Its hard to keep up.

On my door,
there is a cartoon of two turtles.
One says,
"Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows
poverty, famine and injustice when he could do somthing about it."
The other turtle says,
"I'm afraid He might just ask me the same question."
