North Pole is Leaving Canada

Posted by timothy on from the too-conventional-for-a-polar-extreme dept.

Not only is the pole shifting from a spot just North of Resolute, Canada, Canadian scientists expect it to end up in Siberia within the next half-century. Perhaps the most interesting part of the story (which really is only a small part at the end) is that many couples like to go to the magnetic North Pole to conceive their children. "

    When people talk about American beer being "watery", they aren't referring to the alcohol content: If you are so infatuated with the alcohol then why don't you drink straight up vodka big man? Beer isn't (always) a drink just to get hosed on.

    Instead they're referring to a nice, full bodied taste. Truth be told compared to many European beers, most "pop" Canadian beers are watery. Then again you can find tonnes of micro and less popular beers that are extremely rich, from both Canada and the US.
