Doesnt your state have a law that says its not rape if shes family? Silly southerners...

 Now that's a creepy law...

That would be the bible. It also says that if you have sex with a woman, you must ask her father for her hand in marriage. If he says no, your off the hook. Such is Gods law on premarital sex.

Yes, I know the bible very well. Know thy enemy, after all.

But I wonder... what happens if a girl rapes a girl. Do they get married? Cause if so I'm gonna need to go rape my fiance. Make the peoples allow us.

Don't they get burned off or killed by rock throwing?

 err.... in my 24 years of my life in canada, I have never seen a 2 dollar bill.  We only got the metal version of a 2$

In my 24 years living in America, Ive only seen the currency in common circulation... Which means Ive seen less then a third of the US currency. I would assume that your Canadian currency also has bills and coins that are rare, as they have not been printed in decades.

Oh noes. You mean we'd have to drop all of 'Moose humpers' and 'Eh sayers' sterotypes for a 2$ currency one!? BUMMER bro.

Thats not how currency works. Im sure the bills the fox speaks of still EXIST, but are rare and probably worth allot of money.

Rats can't vomit - that's why rat poison works. Explanation - Rats can't vomit for several related reasons: (1) Rats have a powerful barrier between the stomach and the esophagus. They don't have the esophageal muscle strength to overcome and open this barrier by force, which is necessary for vomiting. (2) Vomiting requires that the two muscles of the diaphragm contract independently, but rats give no evidence of being able to dissociate the activity of these two muscles. (3) Rats don't have the complex neural connections within the brain stem and between brain stem and viscera that coordinate the many muscles involved in vomiting.
