Great point Robert. And to add to that, the shuttle's arm (Canadarm),
designed, and built right here in T.O.(sorry, Toronto for you non-Canadians) ;)
And to an earlier comment about FINE women in Canada - were you referring to
Fine as in "Aerosmith's" version, or Fine as in nice? Either way you are
definitely correct. After all, Jason has discovered the wonders of Canadian
women and I do believe the U.S. did many years ago by making a Toronto-born
woman - Mary Pickford - America's sweetheart. You guys got taste! ;)
