Canadian money is spyware

Oh, wait...maybe not.

Bring back the Mountie & the Moose on your quarters, please. Or was it a Caribou? Elk? Reindeer?

Just make 'em non-magnetic so they work in the vending machines down here...

Quote:The odd-looking -- but harmless -- "poppy coin" was so unfamiliar to suspicious U.S. Army contractors traveling in Canada that they filed confidential espionage accounts about them. The worried contractors described the coins as "anomalous" and "filled with something man-made that looked like nano-technology," according to once-classified U.S. government reports and e-mails obtained by the AP.

NANO-TECHNOLOGY!

The blunt-force trauma you can inflict with some Canadian coins should give pause.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.

Of course, given the small number in err.... circulation, it should be easy to trace who put that maple leaf mark on the corpse. :whistling:

But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.

I love this quote about how the coins looked: "filled with something man-made that looked like nano-technology"

This sounds like the statement from someone who just learned a new word or googled for "nanotech" between porn-sessions.
