15. You Know you're Canadian when you laugh off other people's snow stories and compare them to ours... Seriously we have the fucking monopoly on crappy snow fall problems and stories.


Only because we don't have any Russian members. :D


Actually with the exception of the Siberia region in Russia, the populated centers in Canada are on average colder and get more snow then their Russian counterparts.

You know you're in Vancouver when all the Canada laughs at Vancouver, for only 15 centimetres of snow reduces transit system's efficiency to negative 200%.

You know you're in my home when our side's power is out for 27 hours, and the other side's lights keep working.

Wow... @ previous post

16. You know you're Canadian when you like or dislike the Monarchy but won't get into an argument with people with the opposing view on the issue because it would be rude or impolite

17. You know you're Canadian when you apologize for bumping or getting bumped into by other people

18. You know you're Canadian when you wish parliament, debates and elections could be more interesting and passionate about it but decide that's getting all passionate on the issue with someone else may start a fight and that should be avoided because it could be construed as impolite.

19. You know you're a Canadian student when you bitch about University tuition fees although they are bloody cheap and you should be thankful that you won't be in debt for 50 years to pay them off. So you simply apologize to the person who brought up the very valid point and thank him/her for the insight that you will no doubt share with your fellow academics.

You know you're too serious about computers...
1. When you add your third modem and dedicated phone line.
2. If you use more than 20 passwords.
3. When you start using phrases like: hungry.must-eat.food.now@home.
4. When you order most of what you buy...online.
5. When that 112Gb hard drive is full.
6. And if you have a heart attack when you forgot to pay your phone bill and receive a "pending disconnection of service" notice. :omfg:

You know you're American when you complain about everything you buy being made in china, then go to wal-mart afterwords.

You know you live in Indiana when you can drive for over an hour in any direction and not see anything besides corn.

You know you live in Indiana when, to describe where you live, you simply say corn and any other Americans automatically think Indiana.

You know you live in Indiana when you're state government's commercial promoting said state only says that there's more than corn in Indiana. (I'm not kidding)

I've come face to face with myself, man.
Sanctify the early light just like the old man can, boy!

You know you're German when you're waiting for the traffic light to turn green before you cross the street even if you can neither see nor hear anything that even resembles a moving car within five kilometres.

You know you're German when people take the piss out of you with ancient Nazi jokes that already ceased to be funny years before the war broke out.

You know you're German when native English-speakers keep teasing you about your alleged inability to pronounce the th properly.
