:lol: Now they know the chuckle we get when the Americans report about Saskatchewan.

you know, I never knew how to say Saskatchewan correctly until I heard someone say it to me who was from there.

I always heard it as "Sa-Scatch-A-WAn"
When it's really, at least how I hear it, "Si-sCatch-A-Win"

Or Quebec is pronounced as "qWA-bec" in the US.

Why is Iceland laughing when we say "Vulcano"? Do you know how THEY pronounce that?

Didn't the last time that sucker blow it was a few years?

$1:

Over the past 1,100 years, Eyjafjallajökull has erupted four times: in 920, in 1612, between 1821 and 1823, and in 2010. Each of the first three of these incidents preceded an eruption in the nearby subglacial volcano, Katla.[18] Katla—a much more active volcano known for its powerful subglacial eruptions and its large magma chamber, much larger than that of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano system–has not shown any unusual activity, such as expansion of the crust or seismic activity, in 2010, although geologists have been concerned about its general instability since 1999. Some geophysicists in Iceland support the notion that the recent volcanic eruption at Eyjafjallajökull may trigger a second eruption at Katla, one which would cause major flooding due to melting of glacial ice.[19][20]

Glenn Beck said this is God's punishment for European socialism.

Right after the stigmata appeared on his hands, his head spun around.

Icelanders are very proud of their language. It is supposed to be very difficult to master.

What's their word for amazing?

[QBall]

Maybe we should ask the Icelanders what their word for bankrupt is?

In a way, it is. The airlines, for instance, have no legal liability for this event because it is (even under European law) an Act of God.

Then, when you add in the wave of respiratory cancers that are projected to start hitting European health care systems in about 5-10 years (silica in the lungs being a proven carcinogen) we'll get to see just how financially viable the vaunted European health care systems are.
