Touching. Seriously:
Five years after 9/11, human remains are still being found at the WTC site. It is a horrible thing to contemplate and clearly illustrates just how utterly evil and devastating this attack was.
Here are some figures:
* Of the 2,749 people who were killed that day, the remains of 1,150 haven't been found. Not a shard, a fleck or a fragment.
Although, it could have been a bit more touching:
Excluding the 19 hijackers, a confirmed 2,973 people died and another 24 remain listed as missing as a result of these attacks.
Canada's wankers: When you're pressed for time and all those big numbers start to look the same after a while, but it's the thought that counts, right?

With all this talk about Steve Janke, I finaly decided I had to check this guy out.
Then I decided I had to check him out again, because if others keep getting such good mterial from him, I figured I must have missed something on my first passs.
It was work. Finally, in a comment from The Diggler, on his two-year stint teaching in provincial China, I fouond this gem — attributed his former Chinese neighbors:
"Canadians are worse than Americans because they're 'boring[!]'"
Biased sample?
