20% of Canadians enjoy sex in the kitchen according to a Gallup poll. [National Post]
While this stat pales in comparison to the 33% of Danes and 28% of Norwegians who enjoy cooking naked it is close to the 22% of Swedes and Japanese who relish kitchen sex.
Think about that next time you're sitting around a Canadian kitchen table. Or maybe not.

"Santa" caught red-faced
Christnas eve in Belleville, Ontario saw Santa Claus apprehended by police as he was about to enter a home. Clothed in red and carrying gifts the jolly fat man had been reported by a neighbour as a suspicious character lurking nearby.
When police questioned Santa the embarrassed man turned out to be a fellow cop. He was off-duty and said he was simply trying to sneak into his own house to plant gifts as a surprise for his kids. [Montreal Gazette]
So who's been naught or nice? You'd think a cop would know that these days Identity Theft is taken very seriously. Can you imagine what the real Santa Claus will be giving that cop next Christmas?

Definitely Not Jolly Rogers
A $12,000 cell phone bill from Rogers Wireless astounded customer (and lawyer) Susan Drummond
She refused to pay because the calls had been made not by her but by Hezbollah the terrorist organizaton. They had "cloned" her phone -- captured the number and the encrypted security code -- to make hundreds of overseas calls.
According to Toronto's Globe and Mail Ted Rogers and some of his executives have also had their phones cloned.
But Rogers insists Ms Drummond pay the bill (now grown to over $14,000). Her court claim is that the company has the technology to detect unusual patterns of calling so Rogers should have contacted Ms Drummond when the calls began. The company should have immediately cut off the terrorists' use of her phone number.
Now you know what is really meant by a "terrorist cell,"

Bush takes responsibility for faulty intelligence
No way I can top that Montreal Gazette headline (December 15, 2005).

Drug of Choice
Police were called to investigate drug use by residents of one of Quebec's largest psychiatric hospitals. Some of the 800 patients at the Robert Giffard Hospital apparently like to use marijuana. Despite the progressive nature of this hospital (it recently instituted a pilot program that allows patients to have sex in their rooms) their 60-member security force doesn't like to find small quantities of hashish or marijuana in patients' rooms. (Montreal Gazette).
The guards either smell the illicit drugs or notice that a patient is stoned. How it's possible for the guards to distinguish the difference between the effects of psychiatric drugs and the effects of hash, is not explained.
Prescribed drugs are forced upon the patients (until they eventually become dependent on the medications). But a street drug that a patient might choose to ingest is technically against the law and so there's a punishment. Someone caught smoking marijuana is punished by not being allowed into the hospital's (cigarette) smoking areas.
Hmm. It's ok for the patients to be experimented on with psychiatric drugs, it's ok for them to commit slow suicide with cigarettes but it's not ok to puff a little weed?
