Bad answer, dude. Yeah, so Canada's name comes from an Iroquois word. And that makes it like France how? And I feel awful pointing out, yet again, the narrow geographical scope of some of the bloggers here. Unless of course Mr. Miller was making a reference to Canadians all speaking French. In which case he missed the mark by a long shot. Keep at it though. Hopefully ignorance dilutes over time. . .

Probably have to rob a bank again.
'Cause I'm spending every dime and
I'm spending all my time to
Build the robots.

One fine day when I've got my army made
My flying saucers and toys invade
Every city and every town.
And then I'll plaster my face up all over the place.
See, I'm gonna win the human race.
See, I'm gonna make the world a better place (for me).

Then they took it to Liverpool, England to show it off.

Now if only I could understand how I, as a Canadian, am like the French. I love France and its people, but last time I checked, we were part of the former British empire and the Queen of England was still our queen. Sounds like England is a lot more like Canada to me...especially when you factor in about 80% of the Canadian population speaking english.

Ironically, I'm off to Quebec for a week to enjoy our fantastic french province.]]>Sep 5th 2008 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/la-machines-spider-mech-traipses-through-the-streets-of-liverpo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/la-machines-spider-mech-traipses-through-the-streets-of-liverpo/

Have you seen the Mondo spider? There is nothing magical about it, except that feeling in a section of my brain that fight-or-flights when it finally starts moving.
