You aren't going to believe this story. It sounds like the movie "enemy of my state". A Canadian special coin the poppy coin which has red poppy center protect bed special paint that shines purple under UV light. Well, a US defense contractor thought that the Canadian government is spying on the US by implanting nano-technology into the coin to track the person who carries the it.
The story made news headline that cause major embarrassment to the US defense department. The Canadian CSIS was annoyed by the
contractor report. Everyone else, including the Mint, was laughing at the contractor report to the US government.

It sounds like wannabe Spy vs. Spy.

This is probably the Canadian response to Ian Punnit's (CoasttoCoastAM.com) insidious campaign to promote Canadians to the Extra-Terrestrial communities out there as prime abduction material because "Canadians taste better". Instead of an International plot, what we have here is one of the first "Intergalactic Spy vs. Spy Conspiratorial Affairs"

OK, I don't know what is funnier, the coin thing, or the "canadians taste better" thing. Either way, thanks guys- I haven't laughed like this in a while.

Scared the new guy- I didn't think I laughed. *grins*

Hi picard120

Another amazing spy story and tall tales of paranoia from heart of the Pentagon. There was a similar spy story involving this little chap recently also

and to think that a nuclear war was almost started because Santa Claus and his sleigh with Rudolph the red nose reindeer over the north pole was mistaken for a incoming Soviet ICBM. Ah the insanity of Team B and project Stargate and project Jedi.

I also heard that the Canadians are plotting to take over BOTH sides of Niagra Falls. But why? - They have the best side already!

Last I heard, Furbies still aren't allowed in secret or top secret areas. I wonder if I could get away with a Tickle Me Elmo.

Of course, Canadian taste better. We spend more time exercise outdoors than our southern neighbor. We have leaner bodies. laugh

Of course you taste better, all those extra ingredients that the Chinese are slipping into the food products that Canada imports. We know that y'all don't ship it all South of the 49th parallel.

Actually, furbies are a recording device. Any form of audio or visual recording device without authorization in a secure area is at best a major screw up, and at worst espionage. That isn't any oxymoron- I'd be fired for bringing a furbie or anything similiar onto some of my job sites becuase I might hear sensative corporate information. Trained forgetary is a good thing.

As for the santa thing, that was a comedy skit. You know, comedy, this thing done to be funny, haha, not serious.
