Since I studied classical piano for 8 years starting at 6 years old, i tend to prefer solo piano stuff, especially the more technical compositions. I LOVE Liszt! Hungarian Rhapsodies are so much fun to play, and listen to of course. Chopin is my …

The average temperature around here in the last 2-3 weeks has been -25 C (-13 F for you using retarded units ), without wind of course. It even went as low as -35 C this weekend. I was laughing so much when David Letterman complained last week or…

Whoever the hell said that physics is easy is not human Physics is well known around here (Universite de Montreal and McGill) as being the most difficult major you can find. Don't choose it as a "secondary" major. You will spend 150% of your t…

It's far from being that bad. In fact 99% of those statements were understandable. Sure the syntax was not great but hey... Now you may know just a tiny bit of what it's like here in Quebec, when it comes to getting French manuals and product inf…

No surprise the official government pot sucks: it grows deep into an abandonned mine in Manitoba. Growing quality pot is in fact pretty simple: good soil and LOTS of sunlight. Real sunlight. I think sodium lamps are the closest approximation you c…

It's an good list. Most names deserve to be there, but of course the order could be discussed for a long time... However I'm most pleasantly surprised that they put on Kevin Shields. MBV is amazing. And most important they didn't forget Eddy Haze…

It's somewhat off topic, but hey! Trois-Rivieres is where I was born! I knew this guy was from Quebec but not from my very own city. Finally the whole world will know of its existence, One of the oldest city in North America, it was until recentl…

I live in Montreal, and Six Flags bought our theme park (La Ronde) from the city 4 years ago. The prices are higher since but nothing to scream about (35$/day, 70$/year!!! now that's a deal!, CDN$ of course). However when they bought it the city pu…

How could someone not know intuitively how to pump gaz? There are what, 3 steps? And it's usually written on some stickers. In Canada we have both, self-service and with service. You save about 1 cent/liter (sorry I know nothing at all about th…

Regarding a previous post about a supposed Universe boundary, well there's a virtual one. There is a distance at which we will never see further. As shown by Hubble's law, the farther an object is from us, the faster it moves away due to the expan…

Thanks for all the honors Like someone said earlier, most of the "sports" we suggested are not really sports. They're closer to ludic (or ludicrous ) activities. For actual sports, I would propose cricket. It looks fun and all, but I've ne…
