It was all in fun. <br />Now, as far as I know, these facts are all true. <br />I just think the other ones were much better <br /><br /><br />Saturday mail delivery in Canada was eliminated by Canada Post on February 1, 1969!<br />A group of geese on the ground is a gaggle, a group of geese in the air is a skein!<br />Eskimo ice cream is neither icy, or creamy!<br />Here is a real Canadian lobster: http://www.thecanadapage.org/images/Pinchy.jpg <br /># Canada's two official sports are lacrosse and hockey.<br /># Canada's national colors are red and white.<br /># Canadians consume more Kraft Dinner (aka Kraft Macaroni & Cheese) per capita than any other nationality on earth.<br /><br /><br />One in every 4 Americans has appeared on television!<br />The average American/Canadian will eat about 11.9 pounds of cereal per year!<br />In Natoma, Kansas, it's illegal to throw knives at men wearing striped suits<br />America once issued a 5-cent bill!<br />Here are some interesting numbers to look at! (*1997)<br />166,875,000,000 pieces of mail are delivered each year in the U.S!<br />1,525,000,000 miles of telephone wire a strung across the U.S!<br />123,000,000 cars are being driven down the U.S's highways!<br />85,000,000 tons of paper are used each year in the U.S!<br />56,000,000 people go to Major League baseball each year<br />Honolulu is the only place in the United States that has a royal palace!<br /><br />See what I mean...the other ones were funnier!
