A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Just so you know, 152.50 canadian dollars is 133.61 USD... Not that your currency dropped like crazy lately but it did ;) OH now i get it... you were talking about euros haha too bad we live in north america :S
Good one Oskin... I was gonna say who is laughing now... US dollar sucks :))
Wow, thanks for that insult on Canada! One less viewer here!
I almost thought Engadget was professional. I guess if you lie about currency, you probably lie about other things too.
No reason to take things so personally it was a joke, even if it was off. Good time's.
Why would eBay take the listing off he said what he did in detail if someone was stupid enough to buy it that's there fault right?
Oh and now that I am at home my nifty FireFox spell checks for me. whoopdie do.
A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is an American. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were American too.
Not really knowing why but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like flashy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A girl named Kristen has not gone along with the crowd.
The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I am not an American."
"Then", asks the teacher, "what are you?"
"Im a proud Canadian," boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Kristen why she is a Canadian. "Well, my mom and dad are Canadians, so Im a Canadian too."
The teacher is now angry. "Thats no reason," she says loudly. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?"
A pause, and a smile. "Then," says Kristen, "Id be an American."
You know, American beer is like making love in a canoe.............
$@#%ING WATER!!!!
There is a drunk American in a bar. He stumbles over to a Canadian watching an Oilers game and says to him: "You Canadian?" The Canadian says: "Yes I am." The American sits down with a grin and says:"We have a sayin' in America: 'Canada is the grumpy and whining neighbour above a really great party.'" The Canadian says: "Really? Well, we have a saying in Canada too: 'America is like North America's basement. It's where you put all the crap and try to forget about it.'"
A Canadian and an American are having a beer together, and the conversation turns to who has the better country. After numerous exchanges of boasts, the Yankee says "Sure Canada's nice! But take away your clean air, your friendly people, and your strong beer, and what have you got?".
The Canuck smiles and says "Easy. The USA!".
A British doctor says: The medicine in my country is so advanced
that we can remove the brain of a man, put it in another man and make him
get a job in six weeks.
A German doctor says: That is nothing. We can remove the brain of a
person, put it in another one and prepare him for war in four weeks.
An American doctor, not to be surpassed, says: Friends, both of
you are outdated. Recently we identified a man without a brain from Texas
and placed him in the White House. Now we have half the country looking
for a job and the other half preparing for war!
Four American marines and one Canadian sniper were on patrol when one of the Americans asks: "What is Canada???"
The Canadian replies: "Easy, Canada is what the USA would be without the @$$holes in it..."
In a train there was a Canadian, an American, a spectacular looking blonde and a frightfully awful looking fat lady.
The train happens to pass through a dark tunnel, and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard.
When they leave the tunnel, the American had a big red slap mark on his cheek.
** The blonde thought - "that American son of a bitch wanted to touch me and by mistake, he must have put his hand on the fat lady, who in turn must have slapped his face"
** The fat lady thought - "this dirty old American laid his hands on the blond and she smacked him"
** The American thought - "That damned Canadian put his hand on that blond and by mistake she slapped me"
** The Canadian thought - "I hope there's another tunnel soon so I can smack that stupid American again"
A Newfie, a little man, was sitting at a bar in Toronto when this huge, burly American guy walks in. As he passes the Newfie, he hits him on the neck knocking him to the floor. The big, burly Yank says, "That's a karate chop from Korea." Well, the Newfie gets back on his barstool and resumes drinking his beer.
The burly American then gets up to go to the bathroom and, as he walks by the Newfie, he hits him on the other side of the neck and knocks him to the floor. "That's a judo chop from Japan", he says.
The Newfie decides he's had enough and leaves. A half hour later he
comes back and sees the burly American sitting at the bar. He walks
up behind him and smacks him on the head, knocking him out.
The Newfie says to the bartender, "When he wakes up, b'y, tell en
dat was a frickin' crowbar from Canadian Tire."
You're right, I shouldn't have. I'm sorry...are you?
Not at all.
LOL!!! :-P
I'm just screwing around. America's a great country...too.
I'm a proud Canadian from BC, my Grandparents were Americian. I just look at myself as being the 1 out of 10 fortunate few who won the health-care lottery. Otherwise it's pretty much the same life style, especially here in Toronto.
A Mexican, an American and a Canadian are all sitting around. They pull out the Guinness book of world records and decide that they each want to break a record. The Mexican says, i have really small hands, i bet i have the smallest hands in the world. So he goes down to the record office and they measure his hands and declare him the world record holder for smallest hands. The American says, "well...my feet are tiny, i bet i have the smallest feet in the world." Sure enough he goes down there and walks out with the record holding feet. The Canadian says "...well my wiener is pretty small. I bet i have the worlds smallest wiener." He goes down to the record office and walks out with an angry look on his face... "who in the hell is Andy?"

I think we can all agree that the anonymity of the internet leads to back and forth flaming like this with very little instigation. I can appreciate the humor in the original post, but I'd submit that, after US visitors, Canadians are the next most frequent readers. Its in slightly poor taste to include a joke like that given viewership. Regardless, ignorant comments have been posted on both sides of the fence. Barring an apology or edit from engadget, let's let this one die.
Some of the jokes said here are as bad if not worse than some racial slurs, and, I wish it to stop, especially from American reporters, such as the one on this site. Thank you. PS: Engadget: Please, PLEASE moderate some of the material on your site, you may get in trouble.
nice that is just funny
if you want to see something even more funny check this link if you don't know how to use ebay please stay off of it when you click the link check the price it was sold for

Don't blame Engadget for this one person's poor taste in humor. Clearly that comment does not represent Engadget's sentiments, at least I hope not.

C$152.50 (about $1.40 in real money)
Well, this just blatantly displays the absolute stupidity of Americans; enough said.
They can't do math, and they can't differentiate between fake and real money.
