The question is, who would look better in the House of Commons wearing lycra? Michael or Mikhail?
My Three New Best Friends
I started to earnestly scrape the inside of the canoe this morning. I had previously tried using a regular paint scraper with the blade rounded by file and grinder – the scraper needs to be rounded to accommodate the concave surface inside the hull. I didn’t like the paint scraper at all and decided to find something more to my liking. I asked this question on the bearmountain forums and it was suggested that I try a curved cabinet scraper. Bing! this seemed like a great idea. I had used a $5 scraper extensively on the outside of the hull, so why not use a curved one inside?
So far I’m pretty happy with these scrapers, the multitude of curves is really nice.
Canadian Minister of Science Denies Evolution
I’m not sure if I should be flabbergasted, mildly amused or disgusted. It’s been reported that the Canadian Minister of Science, Gary Goodyear, will not confirm belief in evolution. In my books that is a slinky way to say that he denies evolution. How quirky does a government have to be, in order for them to appoint a creationist to be the Minister of Science? That would be like the College of Physicians and Surgeons appointing a holistic alternative medicine practitioner to be their head. I’m not saying that creationism is wrong (not in this post anyways), but that it is obviously in direct conflict with science.
See comment below. Apparently the guy does believe in evolution. My bad. That doesn’t stop the government from being quirky.
