Brian Mulroney looks up at us from hell and smiles about the mess he caused.

Nice. It's going quite a bit uphill.

That's what I thought, but where are the Silmarils though, did he just leave them home? I vaguely remember he never parted with them willingly, but I may be wrong.

Just saw the scatter plot and line and my mind immediately screamed "bullshit" without knowing what this was about at all. Only then I read the text.

Not sure this statement is true if "more closely related" is understood as shorter combined time between the two species from their most recent common ancestor. Hummingbirds and brachiosaurs had a more recent common ancestor than brachiosaurs and triceratopses (albeit probably still quite close to the dawn of dinosaurs in the Late Triassic ), but the latter pair lived closer in time to the common ancestor of all dinosaurs (while hummingbirds are from the Oligocene).

This song was released 21 years and 3 months ago, it's close in time to the TNG premier (15 years 10 months) that it is to now. Let it go.

While 50 is north enough and the absolute majority of Canadians live south of it, "Northern Canada" generally refers to the three territories (as opposed to the ten provinces), that start at 60 (mostly, there are some islands south of that).

Could it be High Park in Toronto? I was just there yesterday and saw a Great Egret much like this one (also a Green Heron and a couple of beavers).
