    Why don't Tort's walk backwards?

    Hey everyone, perhaps there is already an answer to this question on the forum but I can't seem to find it. The picture of "Yourlocalpoet's" tortoise who was stuck in the corner of the wall and couldn't back out made me think about this a bit more and I've noticed it with Nova as well. Nova...

    cactus pads in Canada?

    Just a question to my fellow Canadian forum members. Has anyone ever seen Prickly Pear (optunia) cactus pads for sale anywhere in Canada? Maybe at an imported food store or frozen or something like that? I have yet to find any but was wondering if anyone else has seen it. Thanks!

    California - Marijuana Legalization

    Yay or nay? I'm surprised this hasn't happened in Canada already, but its awesome to see it happening in Cali. Do you think it will pass? I think we are a bit more liberal with stuff like that in Canada which is why im surprised it hasn't already happened in Ontario or British Columbia yet...
