Up here in Ontario, Canada - we are strongly recommended by our government(!?!) to get free 'flu shots' to avoid getting and spreading that dreaded winter sickness. I would love to find out what drug company is behind this. I've never had a flu shot and I've been fine since this has been implemented. The flu shots aren't even guaranteed to prevent people from getting sick. I find it very odd that the government is going out of their way to help us. It's odd. Maybe it's for a good cause and I'm being conspiratorial. I just want the company providing the flu shots and their stock ticker symbol. You can all donate your disposable income to me and I'll invest in the company and try to make us millions of dollars. No guarantees though. I have a hunch on this one. Stick a needle in me if I'm wrong.

Speaking of gambles, check out the booming economy in Silicone Valley. I wonder how much the industry makes in a year.

Speaking of sex, I laughed at this study by Durex, click here if you want to see it. It says Canadians have sex on average 150 times a year. Like the flu deal, the skeptic in me had to wonder about that statistic. That's healthy, I just don't believe in polls and surveys, especially when they are conducted by a company of interest. I looked at the fine print and found that they surveyed only 50,000 people worldwide. Out of billions. Interesting sample group this must have been. Was this survey only for couples? I am told that the frequency decreases after marriage. Hey Canada, I'm sorry, but if they called on me, our average number would have went down.

Silicone Valley, here I come. It's not for the money or the sex, it's for my country.

Let's play.
