I'm curious as to why Saskatchewan is less likely than its neighbors. I mean, I could understand Nunavut - there's nothing out there - but Saskatchewan borders on the US and has Alberta and Manitoba flanking it, and they're both more likely. Not as likely as Ontario, certainly, but is there really that much of a difference in population density?

"Good night, and may the Good Lord take a Viking to you."
I'd hazard a guess that is based on more of a clumping effect; or based on something more like how likely it is that an infected individual could enter and initate a critical mass reaction before being discovered.

From personal experience, I recommend you never let the biology majors DM your games because they will come up with the evilest monsters based on reality.

Took me a bit to properly parse that one Rob.
Blame the headline writer - that was a direct copy-and-paste.

During the Super Bowl (at about halftime, IIRC), tennis star Eugenie Bouchard accepted a bet on Twitter: if the New England Patriots won, she'd go on a date with student John Goehrke.
Well,
they went on that date yesterday.
And it seems that the date wasn't unpleasant -
they have a second date planned.
Obviously, the Aesop here is "bet on the long shot".

Nothing says "International Women's Day" like
Beer-battered brownies.
(And nothing cures a headache like a ham sandwich.)
The article includes the recipe. You'll have to substitute the specified scotch ale, unless you happen to live in or near Ottawa.

Heh. There's an antique/junk store on Long Beach Island here in NJ called "The Wizard of Odds" (yeah, I know) which has a beautifully-maintained, fully working Nickelodeon right in the middle of the floor, just begging for nickels. While the device in this article is a different machine, they're not too dissimilar.

Does the Parliament's location even count as a hill? The topography looks vaguely convex, I guess. (If you want a real capitol hill, check out Salt Lake City. It's like someone put the building high above the tabernacle on purpose...)
