Jump to postAs a Canadian, I apologize to the Americans (and the rest of the world) for "gifting" you guys Bieber, Nickelback, Celine Dion and Avril. It seems all we export to the States are cold fronts and shitty bands/singers post-1990.
Nik, the apologetic Canadian who has a good taste in music.
Kelly Ripa's right boob is slightly twitchier than her left boob. Either it has a mind of its own or I'm losing it again.
Your thoughts?

As my girlfriend said: "I swear, Facebook has had more facelifts than Cher!"
I personally don't care about Facebook changing. I'm just glad the stupid thing hasn't fried my computer(s) yet.

Jump to postHello, everyone. I have another question to ask in regards to the display configuration on the 737NG.
