Internet Canary

The guy in the office who surfs the web more than anybody else, but nobody complains about him. Because as long as he hasn't gotten fired, you know you are safe, too.

Man, now that Vince quit, who's going to be the new "Internet Canary"?

Canuck

There is a theory that the word is derived from Connaught, a term said to be given by French Canadians to the Irish. The Oxford Companion To The English Language (defines the term as): Canuck 1820’s. Probably from the Iroquoian "CANUCHSA", someone in a "KANATA"(village)…but possibly from Hawaiian "KANAKA" (man), through a pidgin used in the fur trade (in which Pacific islanders were employed), and taken into French as "CANAQUE", perhaps being originally applied to French Canadian canoemen. A nickname for a Canadian…but in the U.S. Northeast pejoratively referring to French Canadians.

Why is it Canucks always have the most intelligent answers?
Because Canucks rule!
