Spice your premier sounds like our P.M. I watch the money they are spending on these flash playgrounds while people are sleeping in the streets.

3. 27,000 trees are cut down every day to supply the world's toilet paper. I would have thought more. I just fact-checked that bit of trivia and according to this site: In the U.K. it's 5.7 million trees a year (almost 16,000 daily). In Australia it's 1.9 million trees a year (about 5,200 daily). According to David A Kelly:

2. There are more than 70 species of mushrooms that glow in the dark.
3. Some butterfly species are extremely fast; the Skipper Butterfly can fly faster than a horse can run.
4. Foxes have whiskers on their legs. This helps them with their bearings, especially when it's dark outside.
5. The call of a Kookaburra is used as the stock jungle sound effect in many movies and shows set in the jungles of Africa or South America, even though they are only in Australia and New Guinea.

The Premier should respect the city and just don't understand why they don't understand why they are doing the wrong thing.

The Premier should respect the city and just don't understand why they don't understand why they are doing the wrong thing. that's the bottom line but not why they don't understand, i think that they do understand but the bottom line is really why don't they care.... that's what we need to keep on asking them not just why but why don't you care..... and as i said... there is already a pod there where he can put his spa.....it needs some fixing....instead of just building a new one and ontario science centre, it doesn't need to be moved, it also could use some repair....not to be rebuilt all together....and there's even supposed to be a subway stop with the new line named after it and all that but you know what the real bottom line is.... more jobs for his rich construction friends, that's the real bottom line.... and why we need an architect from it's either sweden or switzerland in order to do it and their firm is beyond me i'm sure we have great ones here.. but once again the bottom line is anything for his rich friends

That is what I have Suriphobia. I can remember my Mum standing on a chair terrified of a mouse and I was lucky enough to inherit it.
I have to agree about the Japanese I remember walking down the street and a man was on his knees weeding the footpath. You certainly don't see any rubbish there.
Interesting about the banana as I do suffer from heartburn darn painful.
Thanks Steve.

That is what I have Suriphobia. My wife and I once had 5 cats and one day I didn't see any of them around so I went looking for them. I found them in a spare room we had all sitting in a circle around a mouse. You think any of them would kill it? Noooooooooooo ... I had to do it. 1. Male cats are called toms, and females are called queens or mollies. 2. Nowhere in the Bible does it say there were three wise men, just three gifts. 3. Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth. 4. Ladybugs bleed from their knees when threatened. 5. Butterflies have skeletons on the outside of their bodies. This is known as the exoskeleton.
