The SMDB registration Fee is Evil, I have proof

I just checked my credit card statement and after the exchange rate the registration fee came to $6.66 Canadian. What more proof that its evil do you need? :slight_smile:

Seems to me that it proves that Canadian money is evil–turning a well-spent fee for a Good Cause to the Number of the Beast.

You fools.
If you look at Canada from the Southern Hemisphere, it’s $9.99.

I saw something on the history channel that had evidence that John’s number of the name of the beast was 616 instead of 666 making it translate to Caligula instead of Nero. Looks like it’s the beast plus four bits.

How much is that in American money?

616 contains the following examples of the “beast” :

Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, and Grand Rapids. Proof enuf, I say. :smiley:

Makes me glad I live in 517. (Which is the area code just to the east)

The number to the east of the beast?

When I was in university, my mom’s phone number was xxx-668-xxxx. My stepbrother’s phone number was xxx-666-xxxx. They were neighbours. :slight_smile:

Ièm not even going to mention the 665 people down the street…

Not true. Kalamazoo and Battle Creek are in the 269 area code (The area code changed in Feb. of 2002 thus redeeming us :slight_smile: ). Grand Rapids, though, is certainly in league with the devil, though.

$4.95, one would expect.

You are totally wrong.

After I paid my subscription fee I received a letter in the mail (now there’s a surprise) telling me that a distant relative had died a totally painless death and had left me a SUBSTANTIAL sum of money.

I could not believe my good luck (just as you may struggle to) but I decided to invest this money in instant lottery tickets. I DOUBLED my money and was able to buy a small BORDELLO, that will see me through my twilight years in comfort.

Just add your name to the list below mine and pay the $4.95.

A friend.

So then I make .50 Canadian If I change my $4.95 US to 6.66 Canadian and change 6.15 Canadian back to $4.95 real money?
Cool.

641 +/- 25 = the Approximation of the Beast

I remain convinced that Canadian “money,” especially small change, is nothing more than an evil plot to rip me off.

You can’t go anywhere around here without seeing those “Canadian currency discounted 40%” signs, and yet people still insist on trying to pass those cheap-assed quarters with carribou (or whatever that beast is supposed to be) to me as change.

#@&!@# Canadians.

I’ve always felt it was a conspiracy. We get a lot of Canadians in the winter and they are always passing off those “pennys” of theirs in change. I think it’s no coincidence tht they are basically the same color and size of the real American penny.

What with the long-term fall of the US dollar compared to the Canadian, you should be glad to get Canadian coins! They will appreciate in value!

We love you, too, Ex.

I’m sorry, hadn’t you heard about our plot for planetary domination? We even have a motto:

Canada: Taking over the world with small amounts of change featuring animals. And a boat. And a leaf. No, not that leaf, a maple leaf.

It needs some work…

:smiley:

You know, an unfortunate thread in the Pit should have taught me a lesson, but somehow didn’t. I’m glad you guys are taking that post in the spirit in which it was intended, but I really need to start putting disclaimers on these things.

Note to prickly Canadians: This post is a JOKE. It’s intended to be a wink-wink, nudge-nudge, elbow-in-the-ribs, sibling-rivalry sort of thing. I like Canada. I like to think that Canada (the whole geographical area itself, as well as the human and moose populations) likes me too. Anything in this that looks like Canada-bashing really isn’t. Really.

I should probably just go ahead an use it as my sig.
