Sigh same here to both... Measure for measure popped up briefly (has been mentioned as a 'repetitive word/alliterative title' before) but meh.... lolnightreign wrote:I said All's Well that Ends Well on Wednesday, even though I knew it was very, very wrong, just to have something. I suppose that counts as a guess.
Even I've never heard of the website.

LOL Saska being squeezed between Alberta & Manitoba is just like Indiana... the skinny state sandwiched between Ohio and Illinois that I always forget to count for mileage when I have to drive across it ("Honey, how far is it? Only 3 more hours ... DOH! What's that sign? > Welcome to INDIANA; "DOH Look Honey! Those clever Canucks put another province here in our way! "...What's it called Dear? ...Sasketoon... I think... sigh, yeah I forgot about that state/province, so, make that 7 more hours plus a potty break..." But in Canada, you measure your trip in days, not hours, lol.MDaunt wrote:I don't believe that 53% of you know Saskatchewan exists, much less find it on a map.
I had no idea where Reindeer Lake is, but in the retrospectometer it's quite a large body straddling the provincial border at north end of "Saskatoba", lol. Reminds me to remind you-all that the largest lake in area entirely within Canada is the Great Bear Lake, so-named by the First Nations peoples for the grizzlies found in abundance there; and the deepest lake in N America is also entirely within Canada, it's the Great Slave Lake, named for the Slavey aboriginal tribe also first found there. At 2k+ feet/614m deep it's about 20m/60ft deeper than Crater Lake, deepest in USA.
Notably, the Great Slave Lake is the headwater for the Mackenzie River, 2nd longest drainage system in N America after the Mississippi basin. NB: B/c it failed to lead to a Northwest passage, it was first known by the moniker, "Disappointment River." (The other rivers to recall are the Columbia, which drains from Lake Columbia in BC, and the St Lawrence, which drains Lake Ontario into the Gulf of St Lawrence.) Both these lakes are in Northwest TerritorieS (NB: Canada's NWT is plural; the former US Northwest Territory, which became OH/IN/IA/WI/MI & part of MN is SINGULAR! Doh!

Tito saves me from the schneid. Williams on Monday, Elizabeth I on Tuesday, felt as if I should have gotten Wednesday but didn't get close. Friday I knew who they were going for but I couldn't pull out the name in 30 seconds. Same with Thurber. I did a report on Saskatchewan in the 5th grade and have always been pretty good with the prairie provinces.
