The enemy to the north of you

U.S. feared poppy quarter

'The worried contractors described the coins as "anomalous" and "filled with something man-made that looked like nano-technology," according to once-classified U.S. government reports and e-mails obtained by the AP.'

Phear our (frozen) nano-technology. It's not just cold fronts we manufacture now. Bwahahaha!

Hahahhaa! I like how it seemed TOTALLY plausible to the contractors that Canadian quarters would be used as spy devices. XD

Of course, my first reaction to the poppy quarter was to try to scratch 'n' sniff it. It seems like that childhood habit hasn't left me yet.

Oh, that sort of quarter.

I had a flash of the Canadian poppy fields being invaded to bring democracy to the people.

We cull them periodically to spike the opium trade.

It's not like we don't have batshit idiocy of our own, mind. The province of Quebec's current uhh I was going to say jihad against the head veil is an especially cringeworthy example. Soccer, judo, badminton no doubt- nope nope safety hazard what if it gets caught? can't do those sports with that head gear even if it's the special safety version of same with the quick release velcro, and you *can* play those sports with a long ponytail that, naturally, never gets caught in anything.

You don't think much of your neighbors to the south, don't you? ^__^
Nonetheless, the coin is pretty! I would like to get my paws on it some day....

It's our revenge for the fact that they don't know we exist, and even worse, don't care. Three hundred years of 'Oh- I didn't see you.' Gets to you, ya know?
