I would contend that it is not so much how much of a "nation" Canada was at the time, so much as how much of the burden of war was carried by the British Empire.  :P

In case you were wondering what happened to our Danish postal penguin:

Group of penguins attempt escape at Denmark zoo

Denmark just keeps on keeping Mr. Penguin down.   :(
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

They were all caught, killed, frozen and will soon be dissected in front of kids. :(

Gods damn it.
Running a little late today.  Missed the train I needed to get to a meeting on time and have to take one that gets me there 5 minutes late. Oh well.  Not the end of the world. Academic time is the new normal time.
Except.... after behaving well for the past month the trains decide to be messed up today.  The slightly later train isn't just a few minutes late, it just plain decides not to come.

Copenhagen Airport closed down for 2 hours because of a bomb threat, two idiots had joked about having a bomb in on of their suitcases. I really hope they get to cover the cost of the delays.

If they knew it could blow, why not plug it with a hunting rifle from a safe distance first?

I'm sure he was wondering something of the sort, right *after* he got a face full of rotting whale guts.  ;)

It's from the Faeroe Islands, I'm pretty sure they've gutted whales before. :P

Well color me surprised Hawai'i is so poor.

Does this include things like investments?
