  1. Montreal Botanical garden carving contest by scattol · · Score: 1 · on Halloween Pumpkin Carving

    The Montreal Botanical garden has an annual pumpking carving contest. You can see the results here. If you are in the area, you might prefer seeing them live.

  2. Not a first? by toby · · Score: 1 · on Rare "Corpse Flower" Set To Bloom
    Unless I am mistaken, the Montreal Botanical Garden had one in bloom, or about to bloom, during my visit around January 2000.

  3. Re:How? by Pig+Hogger · · Score: 1 · on Putting Google to the Test
    How does the "Library" provide sub two minute results? The article doesn't say.
    In our libraries, from home.
  4. Speed bumps... by chriseh · · Score: 1 · on Bicycle Riding on Square Wheels

    So, I guess a speed bump on that type of road would simply be a flat surface. :-)

    Where I live (here for anglophones), the roads are bad enough in the spring that we could probably all ride on square wheels. There is even talk of having an International Pothole Festival here right before Jazz Fest!

  6. Canadian Museum of Civilization by addie · · Score: 1 · on A Geek's Tour Of North America?

    Though backpacking through Canada in the winter isn't personally my idea of fun, one of the most exciting museums in the country is in Ottawa (well... actually across the river in Gatineau, Quebec). The building itself is something to see, glorious organic design. There are countless museums in this city, but if you're passing through, this is the one to spend some time at.

    For further geeky/educational good time, check out the Biodome in Montreal:

    And if you're travelling out west, definitely the Vancouver Aquarium...

    And finally, the further you go north, the more stars there are in the sky... (well not really, but there aren't too many cities up there to light pollute, if you see what I mean). Algonquin park at night is a sight to behold... Have fun!

  7. formerly at the Montreal Biodome by mks113 · · Score: 1 · on Australian Linux User Group Fights Back Against SCO
    At the Biodome in Montreal they used to have that problem. I see that they no longer have polar bears in their "polar world" ecosystem.

    I know they lost a few penguins in the early years to bears, and that was pretty unique.

  8. Looks suspiciously boxy by AtariAmarok · · Score: 2, Funny · on SOHO Is Back

    This looks suspiciously boxy. For all we know, they have launched one of those shoeboxes that can be used to observe the Sun safely during an eclipse.

  10. There's been one in Montreal for a while by [l0l]Bobo · · Score: 2, Informative · on Science and Education in Biodomes

    Judging by the Eden www site, its installation looks bigger than the one in Montreal, but still, here's a link to the Montreal Biodome's website.

  11. Re:This rocks! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Science and Education in Biodomes
    It is great, but certainly it is not a new idea. There is olready one Biodome like that in Montreal since 1992.
