Of course, there is something really wrong with importing food all the way from South Africa. Just think of all the fuel that was consumed to ship them all that way to Canada, almost on the other side of the world.

I saw these in the supermarket, and they are so cute!

2008-01-05 WARNING: MAY CONTAIN STONES!
An odd warning label seen on a couple dozen bins containing various types of beans at our local grocery store.
This brings to mind all sorts ideas for alternate stickers one could replace this with...
For the bin with the kidney beans:
"PRODUCT MAY CAUSE STONES"
"SCREAM and PASS AFTER USING"
Another good one is:
"PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN FOOD"

2007-12-31 Life to Imitate Printing Error?
As seen on the route map of a Skytrain car:
Take a close look at the right side of the map. ^_^
Ironically, if there is significant sea-level rise, Maple Ridge and Pit Mewdows will experience significant flooding, especially when the Fraser River is in flood.

Not to mention that Richmond and Delta will be under water...
I guess that would result in a new refrain to the saying, "Richmond means never having to say you're Surry", with "Surrey means never having to say you're underwater". ^_^

2007-12-31 Standing Room Only!
When we caught the 99 B-Line, they were running one of the new New Flyer articulated busses (or "artics" in transit vernacular"), and we noticed that they were configured without seats at the articulation joint. Instead, there were shoulder-high padded seat-back that one could use to lean against.
Very strange...
