I say she planted it... if you had read the stories, you'd see she has sued fast food chains before as well as other local businesses.
I agree.

He wasn't asking aboot Canadians, he was asking aboot real people! ;)  You guys just never got there because you couldn't scrape up enough real money to pay for the stuff needed to build a rocket.....that sled you strapped behind a few reindeer didn't sell on e-bay for as much as you guys thought it would.

I'm sure if you asked, we'd have built something to take all the French Canadians to the moon, although after dropping them off at their stop, we may have had a hard time finding them where we left them before we went home ;)

Why do you guys go to the trouble of printing up paper money for the equivalent of an American dime?  Just use a coin, man!

Wait, nevermind, I keep getting all your crappy coins for change....good choice on the paper dime.

Dammit.  Every time they do away with another bill they make it harder and harder to hit the strip clubs.  What stripper wants a bag of coins in their crotch?

how many women did they arrest?

Sales have dropped at franchises in Northern California, forcing layoffs and reduced hours, the company said. Wendy's also has hired private investigators, set up a hot line for tips and offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who provides information leading to the finger's original owner.

It was only going to be one, but then they noticed the woman wasn't white, so they arrested them all just to be on the safe side.
