A Texan Canuck shutting down the US?
... now I understand why he was exported...
Texan-Ted and Toronto-Rob should get their own category - Herostratically famous Canadians.

I don't know about famous Canadians, but I just saw a bus load of middle aged Canadian women get dropped of at my local supermarket. They come by the busload from Atlantic Canada to shop in my town. They don't just go to the mall but they also go to WalMart and the supermarket. And they always leave the store a disaster.
From now until Christmas its busload after busload. I get that there is no Target or Khols in PEI or New Brunswick, but WTF.

I believe I misspelled Danielle Lawrie's last name in a previous post. Although she played for the U of W she's from Vancouver B.C. Her brother, whose name escapes me, plays for the Toronto Blue Jays, but has had a far lesser impact in his respective league. She pitched to some big- leaguers here in an exhibition and owned them.

Isn't putting "famous" and "cross country skier" together an oxymoron?

DNA and Richard III
In August 2012, a dig to find the remains of King Richard III took place in Greyfriars, Leicester. In September, it was reported that remains had been found during the dig. The remains were tested using the mitochondrial DNA of Canadian Michael Ibsen. Mitochodrial DNA (mDNA) is inherited unbroken from mother to offspring along a female line. Michael is a 17th generation descendant of Anne of York by his mother Joy, herself a direct female descendant. The results of the DNA testing were officially announced on 4 February 2013, when University of Leicester researchers said that it was "beyond reasonable doubt" that a battle-scarred skeleton unearthed in 2012 was the king, who died at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.
