I never noticed about the beer until this thread, but good point Just like Nibblers eye in the trash can, I guess it just wasn't followed through.

Some pizza places have liquor licenses that will let them deliver beer and wine, that's it. But they're supposed to ID the purchaser when it's delivered. Hell, I have a flower shop right next to my house that sells beer. Getting to what Chanukah Zombie said about a delivery guy needing a car...New York is different, they do a lot of deliveries on bikes. You've seen the movies with all of that New York traffic...try getting a pizza somewhere in 45 mins with that kind of traffic.

Originally posted by The Bender: ooo CANADA.......... FUN CANADA TRIVIA!!!Everyone derides the French for being uptight and sort of sucking at everything besides artsy things, like food. For the most part this is true, but way back when England first took control of the colony Quebec away from France, the English offered to trade it back for another colony; Guatemala. In a stunningly logical move, the French flatly refused. French dude Voltaire aptly described Canada as "a few acres of snow."

Canada is great. My favorite description of it is as the US's attic -- you don't go up there very much, but when you do, you find all this cool stuff you forgot was there. And since Canada seems to be a popular topic, how about this fun fact: Before the outbreak of the War of 1812 between the US and Britain, President John Adams was working on ways to combat Britsh agression -- the Brits had beeen boarding and conscripting American sailors to serve in their war with France, I beleive. At one time, a proposed plan suggested the invasion of the then-British colony of Canada, since it was deemed an easy military victory against the preoccupied British. Ex-president Thomas Jefferson called the defeat of Canada "a mere matter of marching." While I think there was some action in the Canadian region against the British, I don't beleive it ever amounted to much, and the US obviously never got around to taking over Canada. Pity.

And along came me.
The War of 1812 did involve Canada-US fighting. Though horribly outnumbered, the Canadians didn't lose the war. They got a large number of natives on their side, as they were generally nicer to them than US people.
In fact there were several battles around where I live. Canada did take a decent amount of land, but they didn't claim it, they just left. They took all the area from southernmost ontario to washington i beleive, where we burned the president's residence. It was later painted white, hence the current name.
There more, but I don't remember so much of my grade 10 history. However, that was the only conflict between the two countries, and since there has been the worlds longest undefended boarder.
Fun fact: it established the lines of the two countries, the great lakes in the east and the 49th parallel in the west. According to the treaty, both countries can have 1 battleship on the great lakes (no more).
Heres a fun fact about the Alaskan boarder. After the Yukon gold rush, people flocked to the north, so the Alaskan boarder had to be determined, since there was a disagreement. A panel of 1 US, 1 Canadian and 2 British officials made the decision. Since the Brits wanted to get back on America's good side (giving them a 3:1 advantage in terms of people deciding), they were given heavy favour in deciding the boarders position, giving the US much land that geographically should have been Canadian.
