The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design is a University in *Canada, and I think this is *obscure.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I like a game with strong plot and story. IMHO, the best space opera game every created is the humble EV Nova, followed closely by the venerable Star Control II.

Well, in lieu of a Bossa Nova channel...

*exothermic?

what about non-chemical explosions: nukes, novae, lightning etc?

This looks awesome.

After I watched this I leaned over to my bookshelf and handed Jesseofthenorth my copy of J.B. McLachlan - A Biography. For anyone who likes to read about unions and how they began, this is an excellent read. It chronicles the life of McLachlan in Nova Scotia and his attempts to start a union.

Being from the maritime provinces I have become in all honestly both annoyed and embarrassed from the seal hunt. I'm annoyed that the fisheries ministers from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia have associated their policies vastly erroneously with those on the northern territories.
#1.The vast amount of people who hunt seals in the maritime provinces are not native people; it's not a native economic issue. (it's a false correlation).
#2.Three Department of fisheries studies in a row proved that seals are a minute factor in th depletion of fish stocks and killing them as an excuse is irrelevant as they are an adaptable mid-level predator.
#3.Within our own models from the department of fisheries we're killing off our top predators faster than we can replace them....and we've increased sea farming as a response. No correlation to science.

So in conclusion the fisheries policies of the maritime provinces are based on myths, propagating thru short term jobs and mascaraeding as science.

No all I know of our friends to the North is Montréal. I'm looking forward to seeing the country off the port side for a couple of weeks. I'm fascinated by the further reaches of the continents. Probably picked some of that fascination up from you.

I'm battling a nasty cold at the moment, but otherwise I'm doing great. I head back to the great white north in April which is fast approaching! I'm definitely going to miss Denmark, but I know I'll be back eventually. I'm already bracing myself for the inevitable culture shock I'm going to go through when I return.

Nova Scotia, huh? Sounds like it'll be a great trip. You been before? The maritimes are beautiful in the summer. I went to Lunenburg a few years back and had a fantastic time. Halifax is a great city too - had lots of fun there.

How about the both of you shut the fuck up and take your conversation somewhere else?

We all know that the only official references to you two and pre-teens have been sealed by the court until those families complete counseling and the trial can begin. I’m surprised they even let you two onto the internet at all.

It should be noted by other Sifters: I’m not saying that either of these two ever had sex with kids. That would imply that they stopped masturbating to them long enough to leave the house for candy and duct-tape. What I am saying is that where THEY are from, their activities concerning children are still illegal.

Unlike Kulpims' homeland: the “Republic” of Slovenia: A nice place to visit if you have a hundred bucks and a week to blow screwing cattle. (Or is it a week to screw, blowing cattle?)

The actual country of Slovenia is almost exactly like we saw it portrayed in the wonderful Eli Roth film: “Hostel”. Except for the beautiful women, the second-world amenities and the large amounts of money changing hands. From what I can tell on Wikipedia, the most notable thing about the place is that it’s where the Nazi’s stopped to take a shit on their way to visit Italy.

Like therealblankman mentions above, Slovenia also has a hockey team. So you might also recognize the name of their most famous citizen: the hockey player Anze Kopitar. He plays for the Los Angeles Kings…

My spell-checker doesn’t even recognize “Slovenia” as a legitimate word so it’s no wonder that Kulpims spends his days trolling the Sift in a weed induced stupor trying to convince people how fascinating it is. What is surprising is that he can get so much time logged onto Slovenia’s computer.

But as a self described “coledge" dropout, he’s ranked just above the country’s minister of science. So they need to call him in every time they have technical problems like needing to clear their cookies, or giving their account information to the Nigerian finance minister.

Now I know I don’t ever spend a lot of time at these pathetic circle-jerks or encouraging their resident narcissists. But in Kulpim’s case, Dag offered me five bucks off of a charter membership to say something that helped improve The Sift’s reputation with Slovenia’s communist government.

Unfortunately, try as I might, I can’t think of anything positive to say about Kulpims OR this piece of shit, overpriced, wannabe youtube that you’re all so enamored with. I guess I’ll just have to keep using it for free… oh, without the ability to blog. There’s a membership incentive for you. Blogging… Give me a fucking break.

So, with nothing nice to say about this site or any of you pale, chubby, acne riddled, pedophile, shut-ins: I’ll leave you with this fascinating NOVA clip about America’s first visit to Slovenia after they finally got rid of their vampire problem:

Enjoy:

This scientist was featured on Nova Science Now! last year.

Not actually sure where in ontario this was filmed, but those are some eastern accents they're carrying.

Nova Scotian most likely, if it were newfie, we couldn't understand a damn word they'd be saying.


Hmm, upon further inspection, they may be newfie accents, just not that thick.

I saw a nova episode about how they made the main tank glass/acrylic from 2 pieces since it is so huge, they had to specially make it so the joined section wouldn't show. This is one of those things that is worth traveling to see.
