Only problem is it would have to be vented outside, as you said. Somehow, I don’t think my landlord will like me cutting a 75 X 150cm hole in the wall. ;P


Maybe he won't notice! Or if he does, there's always the Jedi Mind Trick.... we all know that landlords aren't of very high intelligence. :)

It’s just a joke but I am starting to jive to this idea a little.

If I don’t lose my job maybe, in a month or two, I’ll start looking around for some sort of antique cabinet (Maybe go Art-Deco styling from the 20’s or 30’s. It no longer has to be a refrigerator, of course, just any suitably sized and cool looking box.)

Maybe vent it out through a window. Lots of sound absorbing around the fans. . . Yeah, this could work. :O

Just put the computer outside! it is always cold in Canada eh?


. . . And we all live in igloos, say “aboot:” instead of about, our cops dress in red and we are always polite. (Well, I am the one exception in that regard, of course. <snicker>)

There is one true thing about Canada, tho: we are, have been and will always be the very best part of North America.

Even the BBC agree's with you there. Vancouver is 'best place to live'

Ya can’t argue with the BBC. :)

(Though I should point out that Paul Martin hasn’t been our PM for quite some time. LOL)

Sure you can! As long as I'm in a "Weird" Al mood, here ya go:

"Canadian Idiot" (Parody of "American Idiot" by the Offspring)

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Don't wanna be some beer swillin' hockey nut
And do I look like some frostbitten hose-head?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed

They all live on donuts and moose meat
And they leave the house without packin' heat
Never even bring their guns to the mall
And you know what else is too funny?
Their stupid Monopoly money
Can't take 'em seriously at all

Well maple syrup and snow's what they export
They treat curling just like it's a real sport
They think their silly accent is so cute
Can't understand a thing they're talkin' aboot

Sure they got their national health care
Cheaper meds, low crime rates and clean air
Then again well they got Celine Dion
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
And dream of drivin' a Zamboni
All over Saskatchewan

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Won't figure out their temperature in Celsius
See the map, they're hoverin' right over us
Tell you the truth, it makes me kinda nervous

Always hear the same kind of story
Break their nose and they'll just say "sorry"
Tell me what kind of freaks are that polite?
It's gotta mean they're all up to somethin'
So quick, before they see it comin'
Time for a pre-emptive strike!
