    Canadians, Have A Question

    Took one of those fun quizzes, How Canadian Are You? One of the questions was about a "house hippo". What the heck is that?

    Oh, apparently I'm 30% Canadian.

    It was in a commercial! They used it to show that it's easy to make something seem real - even a mini hippo that lives in houses. Supposed to encourage critical thinking. Thanks for reminding me. That little house hippo was cute!

    Where's the quiz? I wonder how Canadian I am
    Laura, Archie & Quinn

    Here's one. I saw a UHaul the other day. They usually show pictures of some kind of natural or man made thing associated with a particular area along with the name of the state or province. So for Arizona they would put a picture of the Grand Canyon and for St Louis they would have a picture of the arch.

    This UHaul had Manitoba on the side and a picture of a whole bunch of snakes. What's that about?

    I think this maybe the answer:
    Snakes of Narcisse

    The House Hippo ad. I'd forgotten about this one. Oh and I took the test, I'm only 68% Canadian. Guess, Andrew has had an affect on me!

    Okay, guess I need to figure out how to embed video. Won't work for me.

    No idea on the hippo or snakes, at least not before I read the answers here. But, did it mention the Ontario elephant?

    It's kind of fun so I will make a thread about it.

    I wonder if the quiz asked what a chesterfield, and an advance green, are.
    Andrew, Faye, Fitzi, and Lucy

    Not gone, only gone on ahead - Bruno, Rex, BoJo, Kendal, Kingsley, Moonpie, Avis, Corndog, Stella, and now Achilles
