1st Real Internet-Option Election in North America
gpmap writes "From the London Free Press: As voters across Ontario were preparing to head to the polls today to elect their municipal leaders, a technological first was quietly taking place in the easternmost reaches of the province. About 100,000 voters the counties of Prescott-Russell and Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry were registered to cast their ballots online. Under a new system developed by CanVote Inc., an eastern Ontario startup company, registered voters in 11 area municipalities had the option of voting via the Internet or telephone. "I believe we're the first to do a real full Internet election in North America," said Joe Church, president of CanVote Inc. "People vote by Internet or telephone at their choice. There is no conventional ballot at all." Voters were issued a PIN number with conventional registration cards mailed to area households. Since Nov. 5, people have been logging on to a CanVote website to vote. Church said the new system makes democracy more accessible by removing such barriers to voting as limited mobility or even poor weather." Of course, systems like ProxyVote have been around for a while, but those are commercial issues, rather then state issues.
One word : BORING
For my own amusement, I made my own ouija board from a pizza box and tried it out. Within minutes a dark shadow appeared with blazing red eyes of fire and spoke. He said, "If you give me your soul I will deliver pizza to you anytime you ask for it through this ouija board." "Sounds good to me!" I replied.
The shadow disappeared and I looked down to find a plate of fresh hot pizza on the ouija board. As soon as I ate of it, words began to appear on the board which read "Satan's Pizza Delivery Service". The pizza was better than any other kind of pizza I'd ever experienced. After I finished, I used the board again and another serving of pizza appeared. This continues to happen every day and I can't believe how lucky I am.

fuck all ya all.
Three new Canadian towns had their naming ceremonies today! The three new towns - Paris, Berlin and Moscow - have all night festivities planned with beer, beer and pig-tipping (like cow-tipping but easier on the back).
Mr. Orig Anal, a bar steward from Berlin, Manitoba, said: "We're mighty proud of our brand new town's name, we came up with all of it ourselves".
Seriously - why would you call a place London? I mean really. Not even a perfunctory 'New' on the front.
You stupid fuck. I am from London. Let me explain why its called London.
English explorers settled in this area. They started looking around, and found a river. They thought it looked like the "thames" river back home, so they named it the thames river. Then a town formed on the forks of the thames. So they named this town London.
So you want original city names? How about "York" as Toronto was called, which isnt original. But the US "New York" is a knockoff of York, which is also English.
North America is filled with cities, rivers, mountains, and any other thing that is named which have been named after primarily European names
So shut the fuck up, and leave London alone.
