The main reason, according to a CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) report, is that, “historically, because of the long waits at Island hospitals for any kind of service, pregnant Island women have become socio-geograpically predisposed to keeping their clams shut tight until the very last second.”

see the full story here.

In a related report, also from the CIHI, PEI ranks equal with the rest of the Canadian provinces for immature births.  “It’s an interesting statistic,” says Eloise Placente, an analytical manager with CIHI. “Every province in Canada reports an almost 100% rate of immature births.  Practically every baby born in Canada seems to be childish and immature.”

It should be noted that Placente is not married.

It used to be that when I’d go to the public men’s room on the floor where I work in the ATC, it was practically guaranteed that there’d be someone else, usually more than one, in there already.  If not, then rest assured at least one person would come in before I’d leave.
What I’m saying is:  it used to be a busy bathroom.  Too busy for the two toilets, one urinal and two sinks found therein.
But not so much anymore.  I guess it’s a sign of the economic down-turn, or a dis-satisfaction with renting at the ATC, but fewer clients in the building means fewer people in the bathroom.

So much so that now sometimes when I go into the bathroom, the lights are off.  I assume they’re on a timer, and when it was busy, the timer never got to activate.

Sometimes when I go into that dark bathroom, I’ve thought that it would be a neat prank to go into the bathroom, go into one of the stalls, stay there, motionless, until the lights went out.  Then, when someone came in, activating the lights to go on, he’d think he was alone.  Then, you know, you’d start making noises or something to surprise or scare him.

Yeah, I agree:  “neat prank” is far too generous a classification.  Unless your definition of “neat” is akin to “lame”.

The real joke would be for you to go to the trouble of going in, sitting there as still as you need to be, lights go out, and then nobody comes in for the rest of the day.  Now, that’s comedy!

Is this the most expensive home ever listed on PEI?  7.75 million dollars.

Located at Cable Head, PEI

More images can be found here and here.  Maybe the same images for both links?

I’d live in it.  Although it does seem a bit sprawling in its design.  And I think some landscaping around the home would really add a lot to the overall ambience.

Here’s a video of Flight of the Conchords playing at a record store in April.  Lots of fun.
Question: how long before David Bowie performs “Bowie” with FotC?

Michelle and Barack enjoy fisting? Really? Apparently so, according to at least one sexpert.
Too bad the Inauguration Marching Band refused Barack’s request to have “76 Rusty Trombones” played during the parade.

Very nice.

I could have selected “Log Drivers Waltz” but I assume everyone would link to that.

Here’s a video I’d seen countless mornings on CBC-TV between episodes of The Friendly Giant, Mr. Dressup and Sesame Street.

That title isn’t mine.  It’s the title used by, I assume, the news org that posted the video. But I think that title is the best I’ve seen so far this century.  “Hitler’s Mom Speaks Out”

Here’s the news story, about a mom who just wants her children back.  See, they were taken from her because Child Services think the childrens’ lives are at risk.  Because, you see, the childrens’ names are Adolf Hitler, Himmler and Aryannation.  And, you see, the husband’s swastika tattoo isn’t rascist.  Rather, he sees it as art.

And, see, the logical argument the aunt uses regarding Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name is spot-on.  Except, you know, it’s not.
