The tendency to consider Canadians a bland people who delight only in the ordinary and orthodox couldn't be further from the truth. Canada is rife with the weird, wacky and off-the-wall from sea to shining sea--Pumpkin Festivals in Nova Scotia, a giant dino turd in Sadkatchewan, an official mace made from plumbing parts in the Alberta legislature and so much more!

Icky, sticky, slimy and smelly -- the human body is amazing, but it's pretty nasty sometimes, too! Find the real answers to your questions about the gross and disgusting things on, in and coming out of your body: Can your eyeball fall out? Why are boogers green? What gives you morning breath? Do your ears ever stop growing? What is that icky stuff inside a zit? What is "toe cheese" made of? Find out everything you wanted to know (and some things you really didn't want to know) about the yucky but incredible human body.
