LynneSin dumbass question of the day - please help

Thanks

1. I don't think so.
I've gotten electronics from the US and they used the same plugs.

2. Toronto rules
I don't know the answer to your question since I didn't bring any appliances with me. It's just the best large city I've ever been to.

Have a great time.

3. No. But remember: in Canada they drive on the left, so
be sure to switch lanes as soon as you cross the border!

:evilgrin:

4. The fact that you have an evil grin in your post
leads me to believe you want me to get in an accident and die

Why do you make Baby Jesus cry?

7. Baby Jesus is crying? Over that? Whiny little critter....
Anyway, I have no doubt that your catlike reflexes would prevent a fatal accident. And it would be funny to scare the crap out of a bunch of Canadians; they deserve it for all the mean things they've done to us... :silly:

9. No.
You do need to remember that speed limits aren't posted in MPH and that those low celsius temperatures don't necessarily mean that you'll be freezing your dumbass. 18 degrees celsius is a balmy Fall day.

10. So, Lynne's going to the centre of the universe, eh?
1. 100 kph = 60 mph (approx.)
2. 20 C = 70 F (approx.)
3. it's always a half hour earlier in Newfoundland...

just sayin'

heeee.

and no, you don't need a special adapter. We use 120VAC here as well.

13. Excuse me but your cosmology is a bit off
Toronto the center of the Universe? No Boston is the "Hub of the Universe"

There's a bronze plaque in Downtown Crossing and everything.

(yes, yes I know Homles actually said "Solar System" but clearly he meant the 'known' universe ;) )

16. Both of you are off base
Everyone knows the center of the universe is WILMINGTON DELAWARE

19. Excuse me, but I wasn't even thinking of *that*
So I think it's your mind that needs to get out of the gutter.

18. They don't have electricity there yet.
Be sure to bring extra whale oil for your lamp.
