What EVERYBODY Thinks Of EVERYBODY ELSE.
Either no one thinks of Canada, or the animator couldn't draw igloos or polar bears.
Toronto mayor Rob Ford says he gets enough pussy to eat
He's a total crackhead. Case closed and get an igloo ready for a fresh heart delivery, this choads' way past hypertension, no mercy.
Does his mother know he's a whore?
✨ Rockin' title! ✨
@artician, Yep. Pretty much his picture in the dictionary on the page that makes him that guy.
Wringing Out a Wet Washcloth in Space
It's the same size as the puckcloth; so, it's a washcloth.
I'm also taking this as evidence that the whole charade was filmed on an igloo-shaped sound stage in Saskatchewan.
That's called a towel, you stereotype-obsessed american.
Polar Bear Breaks Glass in Aquarium
Polar Bears like igloos. They're crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.
True story.

Libertarian Style "Subscription Fire Department" Watches Unsubscribed House Burn to the Ground (Blog Entry by dag)

Goofus should've been allowed to be billed later...even 5 grand would be less than losing the house. BTW what kind of insurance company allows its customers to NOT have fire insurance (besides igloos)?
P.S. The fire department in question is government-run, not private for-hire (which would gladly have taken the money).
But people like you are the reason it's fee-for-service instead of being paid for by mandatory taxes like everybody else's fire departments.

What Vancouver sounded like when Team Canada won gold in OT
Igloos act as great resonators.
The Ingenuity of the Inuit - Making a Knife from Shit
It's true, we rock.
Kayaks (Qajaqs FYI) made of nothing but animal parts. Whale-bone tent frames. Harpoons with toggled spear-heads (still unmatched by any other civilization in the world). Buoys made from inflated seal-skins. Kamiks - the lightweight, durable, waterproof footwear which we still use today (much more comfortable than boots). Pots and pans at local hockey games. The igloo.
Currently I have my PC serving triple-purpose as a home computer, an improvised oven, and a sock-dryer (using the fan on the CPU).
Dag - did you get to go hunting while you were up there?
Insane Canadian Fisherman...eh?
Every Canadian is trained to find fish under the ice in just this manner, from the age of three and up, so there's nothing really amazing going on here. Oh, and we all live in igloos.
BBC's A Boy Among Polar Bears: Building an Igloo
^Interestingly enough, in the Massey Lecture "A Short History of Progress" (2004), Ronald Wright suggests that if and when the proverbial shit hits the fan and worldwide civilization collapses, Inuit will be among very few societies that survive because we have maintained our traditional skills and practices (such as building the igloo).
It's been nice knowing y'all.
BBC's A Boy Among Polar Bears: Building an Igloo
learning how to build an igloo is going onto my list of things to do in my lifetime.

several degrees above freezing..mmmm...toasty.
When you're wearing caribou outerware, that's like tropical heat. It's not uncommon to have to remove your parka, and just wear the snowpants (silapaaks) and t-shirt inside the igloo - even the snowpants keep your entire body warm.
Amazing, ingenius new non-socialist health plan for Americans! (Blog Entry by EndAll)

Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Dementia, etc. were all virtually nonexistent several hundred years ago. Life expectancy figures you've likely heard where people only lived to be 35, etc. are complete B.S. High infant mortality rates, accidents, and infectious disease dramatically skew the life expectancy downward. Those subsets of the population not affected by these outside factors lived to be in excess of 80-100 years old without any incidence of cancer, heart disease, diabetes - the so called "diseases of civilization." Here is a table of ages of deaths for a population of Inuit from the Moravian Church in Labrador
and the Russian Church in Alaska, 1822-1836:
Aleuts, Unalaska district
Died ages 1-4 -- 92
Died ages 4-7 -- 17
Died ages 7-15 -- 41
Died ages 15-25 -- 41
Died ages 25-45 -- 103
Died ages 45-55 -- 66
Died ages 55-60 -- 29
Died ages 60-65 -- 22
Died ages 65-70 -- 24
Died ages 70-75 -- 23
Died ages 75-80 -- 11
Died ages 80-90 -- 20
Died ages 90-100 -- 2
People who lived in the jesus damn Artic 200 years ago, had zero access to fruits or vegetables and subsisted on a diet of 100% meat (fish, seals, whales, etc.) for their entire lives. 25% of them lived to be over 60 years old, with some living past 90...in a freaking igloo!
In one study of terminally ill patients, patients who were so close to dying that any treatment (including no treatment) was deemed ethical, an intervention method consisting of the complete removal sugar from their diets (think about what most hospital diets consist of for a second) was introduced. Those patients living past the first week (most were so far gone, they died before the study could even start) had their tumors either regress enough to be surgically treated, or experienced full remission. Patients who were previously given less than a week to live were now cancer-free simply by removing sugar from their diets.
Cancer cells have been shown in many studies ( including this one http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=296896) to have a disproportionally higher number of insulin receptor cells. Cancerous cells are "successful" mutations from an evolutionary perspective in that they lead to massive cell propagation. However, most cancerous cells have no method of internal cell metabolism, and must subsist and grow almost exclusively on energy supplied by blood glucose (hence the elevated receptor count). Essentially, cancerous cells are "parasites." By removing all sources of glucose from the body, and entering a state of ketosis, where acetone bodys supply energy to the cells as opposed to glucose, the cancer cells starve; dying or slowing growth to the point where the body's immune system can sucessfully remove them.
Long story short, you wanna live to be 100, stop drinking so much f*ing soda.
