xD Yeah, no one wants to hang around a stinker.

Now, I just gotta do my nails, and I'll be all good.

Well, then I strongly hope it'll be after 22:00 CST.. cause otherwise it'll clash with game 1 of the Stanley Cup final.. and I don't want to miss that! D: <3

@ Ari - You're too Canadian. :lol:

*runs away from more bees*

*sprays bees with water hose*

That'll teach 'em.

<.< >.>

*continues stalking thread*

@Silver: I know, and I'm proud to be Canadian. <3
Are you Canadian too? : O
And are you going to watch the Stanley Cup finals? : O

xD;
Yep. Nova Scotian.

And nope, I don't really like hockey. >>

Oh no, impending sports fan attack!

*dives for cover*

@Silver: Aw, you're so far away from me. : (
I'm an Ontarian from Markham of the Greater Toronto Area. <3
What city/town are you from? : O

Aw, boo.
What kind of Canadian are you then, Silver? D:
Did you at least watch Olympic hockey? : O

@Belly: *attacks you in full hockey equipment, sticks, body checking and all* <8D

Oh nooo~ D:

-Hides behind my anti-sports shield-

I'm about half an hour from Truro, or about an hour and a half outside of Halifax.

I'm the non-sports fan kind. xD
Didn't bother with Olympic hockey.
I watched the goal during the US/Canada game, but I didn't really think much of it, honestly. xDD;

Would anyone be interested in a round of trivia? That is, if you're not too busy discussing Canada. :P

I would!

I r b reddy, Chrf.

*raises hand*
Aye. :pirate:

I'm in! c:

Aw hell, why not.

Perfect! Just enough people! Let me go edit the title, then we can start. :)
Today's theme, by the way, is The Industrial Revolution. Get Google ready!

Come on AP European history, serve me well!

Woo for spinning jennies and steam trains!

Question number one! Remember that incomplete answers will not be counted. Read the question carefully.

Though the earliest steam engine dates back to the first century AD, a commercially successful one did not come until many centuries later. In what year did this engine arrive on the scene, and who invented it?

1712, Thomas Newcomen
