Canadian currency buried in Halo 3's Snowbound
In terms of global appeal, Canada's currency is on fire! It's the currency of choice. No, wait, it's the only currency worth using. So, that must be why team Bungie hid a piece of Canadian currency in Halo 3's Snowbound. Because it's the crème de la crème of currency ... duh! Though, our heavily bias opinion thinks that the best loon portrait goes to the Minnesota state quarter. We aren't sure if this is an old or new Halo 3 Easter eggs, but it's new to us so that makes it worthwhile ... or something like that. Oh, and be warned that the video's musical goodness isn't all that musically good.

I didn't realize my volume was all the way up trying to understand what the crazy Hungarian was saying to Steve Ballmer when he threw the eggs. So a brief moment, my entire room shook to the goodness that is Tetris Themed Techno, my PC case started flashing along, and I know its a lil bit early but I'm drunk as fuck, school's out for summer. I have a sudden urge to listen to Boten Anna. Thanks for reading.

I'm guessing this has something to do with the good luck coin that the Canadian ice crew buried under the centre ice dot at the Salt Lake City Olympics hockey venue. (Yes, you read that right, the Americans had to bring in Canadians to get the ice right for hockey.)
The coin worked and both the mens' and womens' teams won gold.

Dude, never confuse the Leafs for the Habs or you'll start a big international incident.
Besides, everyone knows the Leafs suck... ;)

The Canadian dollar is barely worth more than a US Dollar. 1 CAD to 1.008 USD.
Plus its not going to last that long.

Because our economy is a pile of shit. It's election year and that always takes a tole on the economy. Plus we have stupid fucking morons in office that like to start wars with other countries. We spend some 3 billion dollars a week on the war in Iraq. That's where all our fuckin money is going...makes you not want to pay taxes huh?

NOT TRUE. Go to NCIX then NCIXUS and you will see US prices are cheaper compared to the US conversion of the Canadian

yeah Grimm you are right. war, stupid govt, and elections have really brought down the economy. i remember two years ago when i was living in miami that economy was ok, but last year was really terrible and it's not getting any better. that's one of the reasons why i moved to canada :D

This means we have to get a Team Slayer match of Red (Canada) vs. Blue (U.S.A.) on Snowbound to see who wins. If Canada wins, you know that good luck Loonie works virtually. :D
