The Random Vin Diesel Fact Generator.

I think that just the music itself is their best quality as a band. The individual instrumental work isn't spectacular, but as an ensemble it works really well.

Mmmkay...time for some pharmacy edumacation: Codeine is made from morphine by converting the 3-OH group to a OCH3. This reduces the activity of morphine making it 15% less active and, therefore, less potent. Codeine IS one of the weakest narcotics. Not to say it isn't fun, I've had a blast on it. Addiction does not have anything to do with the potency of a drug. Somebody might chose to do a more potent drug, but that doesn't make it more addictive in itself. Quick question: I seem to remember learning about this in organic chemistry last year, aren't codeine and morphine also related to heroin?

The 90's, mainly because that's the decade from where all my memories of those two are from. Who was your favourite Cold War American president?

Miles Davis - So What

If they are not elected, then what right do they have to even represent us as Canadians in a democracy?

Where Is My Mind - Pixies

Hardly. When you consider that in the states, the fine people residents of Trailer Park, Alabama have a representation far disproportionate to your typical New Yorker or Californian or Texan, there's just nothing representative or democratic about having a flat representation in the Senate. Think about it - Toronto has several times the population of PEI, but why would all of Ontario have an equal say as PEI? There's already rep-by-pop in the House of Commons, so why not representation of equality? The point of the Senate in the States is to prevent any one state from having too much power in the federal government. How is it fair that one or two provinces can hold so much clout in the federal government? How is that democratic? California, Texas, and New York are three of the most populous states in America. They'd have far more representation than Alabama ;) .

I think a Senate based on the American model would be most effective, where each state (in our case, province) has two representatives and that's that. I think it would balance with rep-by-pop. House of Commons nicely. As well, to add to what was being said about different parties controlling different chambers, this is also similar to the situation in the US in the 90s, where the Democrats controlled the White House and the Republicans controlled Congress. The two had to work together in order to get anything done. There have been several politicians who've decried the current state of government there with one party controlling everything (Trent Lott comes to mind, on the Daily Show a while back), saying that better results and a better spirit were achieved by working together. Go EEE Senate!

Read a good book. What's your favourite musical?

Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway

i did. man from harold wood: check out the talking heads. the arcade fire like to rip them off too. not that ripping off is a bad thing. Better than ripping off Nickelback/Pearl Jam, in my opinion.

Ha! Take that, Ivan.

5 months and a week until I'm legal.

Everyone is different. For me personally, I don't know because I haven't reached my limit yet; but I don't generally gorge myself on the stuff ;) . What was the last form of medication you took?

I seem to recall him saying on the jackpillowhead blog that they were over-hyped or something like that, and if he wanted to listen to Echo and the Bunnymen, he would.

World on Fire - Sarah McLachlan

I dunno. The internet? If you were a character from Clue, who would you be?

3028 (plus one)

Javert's Suicide - Les Miserables

To be honest, this is the first I've heard about it.

I resolve to make a resolution. What's your favourite blog? (Not including Mblog)

I think maybe he'd be better suited for an indie label. When you look at all the bands coming out of Canada and gaining accolades everywhere (eg. Metric, Arcade Fire, New Pornographers etc), then those labels must be doing something right to promote their artists. A smaller label would work harder anyway to promote their artists because they don't have as much money to blow.

I Dreamed A Dream - Les Mis

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Scar Tissue
