Incidentally, if you want to see how easy/hard it is to get a family doctor in Ontario, check out the Family Doctor Search provided by the College of Physicians and Surgeons. You will see that finding a doctor in a large city is very very very easy, and in small towns not as easy.

Hey gurple, I didn't steal his title. I just though it was an appropriate name. (and btw, i'm not a guy : ) I actually stole it from Bob and Doug McKenzie of SCTV fame.

flowfeel: It just maps the retail outlets. Liquor is sold by the government in Ontario exclusively and their hours are horrible. Beer is sold by a cartel of large breweries also with horrible hours. So, there are many places to get booze in Toronto at 10:35pm, but very few retail stores, only bars.
GuyZero: I can see it now:

I use w.a.s.t.e. as an easy-to-set-up vpn between my work and home (and also to share my cd / movie collection with a trusted group of friends). It is truly a great program.

Hunter S. Thompson's obituary of Richard Nixon is probably my favourite of the genre.

Perhaps this is a bit off-topic, but after reading a Microsoft thread I like to read David Gelertner's Any Microsecond Now.

My favourite invented language is Toki Pona.
Only 150 words to learn, very soothing too.

Joey...
I have to agree with kayjay on this one... very lame thing to turn in a student when they put their trust in you. Very very lame.

The problem I see with subscription services is that they are branded by the label... Does this mean that I have to pay a subscription to each big record company? It would be perfect if I could subscribe to "music" in general.

I agree with ODiV...what's the obsession with genetics? If the couple who had the twins want the twins then they should get the twins. Genetics has, in my experience, very little to do with parenthood.
I want to know the same thing as dejah420 ... are the parents are suing to get money back for the procedure, or because they don't want the kids.

I very much like the 99 Bottles of Beer version of this same sort of exercise.
