THOUGHT of the YEAR
What do you suppose that means? I've been pondering it for a year and have no answer. Does that mean I am thinking like a stone?

Architect catches condomania
December 2003
The condominium virus raging in Toronto's city core has claimed another victim. Despite using all his design skills to destroy the developer's mediocre floor plan; and attempting to flush out the virus with a flood of schedules and amendments to the purchase contract, Arran finally succumbed.
The first thing he did after waking up in his very own space was paint the walls flourescent lime greeen.
The second thing he did was throw a party for his mother's 60th birthday.

Timms family produces new weapon against foreign invader
September, 2003
No, we haven't become arms dealers.
In her quest for ever more ugly bugs to embrace, Laura has found the Emerald Ash Borer [Agrilus planipennis Faimaire] so compelling that she has returned to the University of Toronto to complete a Masters degree in Forest Entymology by studying the unlovely creature.
Another invader from China, like the beetle that is eating all the maple trees in Toronto, this one specializes in ash trees and could become a major threat to Canada's forests.
It's a relatively new immigrant, sneaking into Canada from Michigan. No one even knew it was here until the city of Windsor's ash trees started dying. Foresters were then dismayed to discover that no one had studied this creature so no one knew how to control it.
Well, give her a few years. She is so immersed in her studies, so committed to natural biological controls, and so opposed to chemical pesticides, that her proud parents are convinced she will come up with an answer.

Apparently, setting off the airport alarms only fifty percent of the time wasn't good enough. So Roger trooped back to his favourite orthopedic surgeon and had the other hip replaced. As you can see, this involves being hooked up to more instruments and devices than he has attached to his TV/DVD/VCR sound system at home. It also means that passport and X-rays are now his standard travel documents.
