Election Time in Saskatoon

In Canada we are in the middle of a run-up to a federal election. Today I found some info on CBC's website regarding different ridings. I thought it might be a useful thing to share with the world, so here it is!

1. CBC - Canada Votes main page. The following are the four ridings that incorporate parts of Saskatoon:
2. Riding 229: Blackstrap, comments
3. Riding 236: Saskatoon-Humboldt, comments
4. Riding 237: Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar, comments
   
5. Riding 238: Saskatoon-Wanuskewin and comments from people in this riding (This is the riding I live in.)

It will be interesting to see the results of the election. Will we be rid of a minority government??

The Internet Oracle

You may or may not have heard of the Internet Oracle before, but it's something I remember being around from the early days of the internet. The website says it's been around since 1989!

Last spring my brother sent me a link to this digest because there was a great Monty Python style spoof of the Lord of the Rings that began it. I had completely forgotten about the Oracle otherwise.

Here's a little taste of what you might find there:

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> O Oracle most helpful, > > Despite the fact that I lost my arms in a horrible accident 2 years > ago, none of the arms dealers I've spoken to are willing to help. Why > is that?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Like you, I'm stumped.

The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> I made some cookies the other day. They were chocolate chip. When I > put them in the oven, the chips leaped out of the cookies, jumped onto > the floor, and ran out of the house squeaking. I had to eat the cookies > without any chips. They were terrible. Why do you think this > remarkable event occurred?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Hmm. Mutineering chocolate. } Obviously they were trying to jump chip.

All in all it's fun stuff! Most questions and answers are a lot longer, so you're up for a fair amount of reading!

Heh, how can you tell I finished school on Tuesday. I think I looked at videos online for almost three hours today!

These next two are of a couple of impressive amputees. I thought I'd put them here in case I want to check them out next term. (I'll be taking a class on amputations next term.)
