Check out [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=152084&pagenumber=2), it might be interesting. Also, I’ve thought about starting a thread like this, as I’m fairly knowledgeable, and hubby’s got some great stories! (He on-call for pickups. 'Nuff said.)

[Bishop James Mahoney High School.](http://www.scs.sk.ca/bjm/) Sadly, that picture doesn’t do true justice to the eyesore that was our massive green roof.

Do you have some sort of Saskatchewan connection, **Silentgoldfish**? I know we had a couple of Australian exchange students while I went there…
