    Mount Everest, in two billion pixels

    Everest is pretty commercialized now; if you have money you can 'climb' it. I plan on having my ashes blown to the top with a cannon, so I can be the first dead guy that 'climbs' Everest.

    Mayan apocalypse!

    I think GTAM should have it's own calendar and then have it end, say next year. Must be some good $$$ in this somewhere. I'd say we have more credibility than some extinct race of naked people that got wiped out by Spaniards.

    Privatize LCBO

    This. Selling it would reduce the debt, a one time only gain. Taxes would have to go up to cover the loss of revenue. Also there's opportunity for a successful bidder to make a fortune, so a huge incentive to line pockets during the bidding - which is a big driver.

    Of course it's all about salt. You can always dress more warmly. (and corner more slowly!) Snowmobilers go out in these temperatures no probs.
