There's a diplomatic tiff between Denmark and Canada over who owns a little rocky island off the coast of Greenland. Apparently it will be a great place to refuel your container ship in 2050 when the Arctic ice cap melts, opening the Northwest Passage. Not so long ago the Canadian parlaiment voted to rename the Danish 'Freedom Pastry'.Matt_Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139378448055540977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24834568.post-8256714269287959562007-03-02T10:44:00.000-06:002007-03-02T10:44:00.000-06:00Gordy: I don't know how to get to your photo page....Gordy: I don't know how to get to your photo page.rigtenzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753944603301426002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24834568.post-38358132921113768362007-02-27T21:19:00.000-06:002007-02-27T21:19:00.000-06:00Yes sir, that boy in my photo agreeing to let me p...Yes sir, that boy in my photo agreeing to let me purchase my elephant does like 3 speed bicycles.
