@Fireborn: It is a joke. There was a song that was nominated for an academy award in the South Park movie back in 1999 called Blame Canada.

In which Canada was in fact blamed. It's a great song.

And only partially a Joke.  Second City blew the lid off the Great Canadian Conspiracy back in the 80's.  From Lorne green to Greenday, it's a war.  After all, we've had more wars with Canada than with the British Commonwealth at large or even Mexico!.

Just remember friends, in the war of 1812, we Canucks burned the white house down .

Yeah, well, you guys invented curling, so I think we've got the better deal.

I love curling. The Simpsons curling episode showed a basic ignorance of the rules of the game (I understand the ones they broke because it was the Simpsons, but they could have been more accurate with a minimum of effort, like not having both teams use the same color stones) which was to be expected, but the game is actually very interesting. It's all about physics and mechanics, so it's very geeky.

It's the only Winter Olympics sport that I can watch besides Snowboarding. I can't get enough curling come Olympics time. I record every single one. ^____^

HBO's real sports did a terrific spot on Curling. It was pretty funny. Apparently one of the ice makers in Canada is a celebrity.

[Plasman]

so i thought there was going to be a discussion of something related to dragonsteel on this page. instead i get Curling???

[ryos]

My fault, sorry. I tried to be funny and derailed the thread. (Though, I think everything that will be said has been. There's not a lot to talk about because so few have read the book.)

[Fireborn]

Well, Brandon doesn't really want people to read it anyway.

When I told him I had read it, he apologized to me because he thinks it poorly written.  I'm still looking forward to when he revisits it in the future.  Good story.

Why does he keep a copy in BYU's library if he doesn't want anybody to read it is the big question? Is it because it was his thesis or something and can't be removed? (I remember it being something like that)

Yeah, it's his thesis.

I suppose that he likes that fact that its almost never actually AT the library.
