This was on the list that I spoke of in your other post too . :)

Canada doesn't have a two dollar bill . It has a $2 coin , the Toonie . When Canada had a $2 bill , it flew the Union Jack , not Old Glory .

And of course , Niagara Falls freezing " solid " is miss leading . It could freeze from the top to the bottom , but water would still be flowing . If not , it would have flooded half of N.A. . :)

Hi jimbob...those are some interesting tid-bits...when I read the one about the eyes never growing but noses and ears do...I wondered if you might also know the rate at which these grow because it seems to vary in individuals...there are some real dumbo eared folks and some honkers that could get in their owners way in making a turn...I suppose it's all genetics right?:)
