In the states you refound your cans of beer, soda by the pound but in Canada we have a system that refund a 5 cent per can and we have a type of a vending machine to put them in and then you get a receipt deposit but it is quite a tasq when you have over 24 cans to put in it one by one.

Ivory that come mostly from elephant that were used to do the cover of a piano keys are now ban in Canada for a few years.
A Canadian bought a piano in the states and they confiscated it because it has real ivory keys.
Something like a 3,000$ piano was confiscated from him.

Only $3000? That must have been an excessively crappy piano, especially if it really did have real ivory keys.

t-phage therapy, a most effect of treatment against e-coli infection effectively uses t-phage viruses to destroy the e-coli bacteria. It's not quite pro-biotic treatment but similar; viruses aren't classified in those phyla stratified by other living organisms. you jerks who already knew this need to seriously get laid. Except for the biology boy tnf, who's married and therefore will regardless stand to spend the rest of his life going without.

Knowing such information can actually help you get laid.
With doctors, for instance.

Or students looking to get an A in Bio 101.
