  1. thx for getting the site flagged by homeland security paisley! gosh!

    a buddy called me up few months back and asked me to do a search for "large quantities of ammonia nitrate" (he'd just seen the mythbusters episode where they show you how to make your own nitrous oxide)

    all groggy from my nap did so, and of course all the first search results were uni-bomber, Oklahoma City, etc... whoops (red flag... red flag... red flag)

  2. if you are in the niagara area' date=' the butterfly conservatory is awsome. wear bright colors and they will land on you.[/quote']

    Good tip! I'll try and remember that. I've been meaning to check that place out for years now. My mom went ages ago and said it was amazing.

    is a link to their website above in my first post (thanks for the bright clothing tip!)

  3. when I was 10, I enjoyed playing with Empire Strikes Back action figures.

    and now you're a computer geek (fair enough though, for me it was hot wheels cars I though were really imaginary people)

  4. Balls Falls is cool, there's usually some sort of activity going on near the trailhead geared at kids, tours of the grist mill etc... personally think Webster's Gorge blows it away when it comes to climbing and hiking in a nice natural setting though... find the hiking more exciting, better spots to stop and chill... top of Webster's falls is a perfect picnic spot as well

    you'll have to come down for some hikin/climbing one weekend Schwaby

  5. around Webster's Falls is excellent day hike material (would pick a not crazy humid day for the best experience)... make sure you go down into the valley... many crazy beautiful spots along the river... Tew's Falls is about a half kilometer away and the two rivers from each falls meet up and turn into one big river... the valley is shaped like a big Y

    Waterfalls in Hamilton/Dundas

    Elora Gorge is a really nice campground, close by right just on the other side of Guelph... doesn't look like the rest of southern ontario, big cedar trees growing out of granite rock, pine needle forest floor... if you go bring little rafts, air mattresses or an inner tube to ride down the river... if you plan to go reserve ahead of time

    African Lion Safari - met a girl who worked with the elephants there and she insisted the animals are very well looked after

    The Metro Toronto Zoo - had a llama spit in my face there as a kid but still enjoyed it a lot

    Wild Water Works/Confederation Park in hamilton (well, in stoney creek really) would be a perfect place on a hot day... $8.90 admission after 4pm (regular $16.10). Open until 8pm until Aug 19, until 6pm through Labour Day.

    The Butterfly Conservatory near Niagara Falls is supposed to be pretty neat... my niece liked it (I'm overdue on checking it out)

  6. reviews are good

    they say it does out-twitter twitter

    personally don't bother with instant messaging as I generally find it distracting when trying to work... if I was collaborating on something maybe I'd go for it again

    (told my folks to buy ICQ shares when they went public)
