Life on Mars
This is the time of year when the Flea reconsiders life in Canada. Might there not be somewhere warmer? Mars comes to mind (via the Meatriarchy).
For the third consecutive day, it has been colder here than it has been on Mars, with the same holding true for much of the country. Vancouver, practically in the throes of spring, is the exception, with temperatures reaching 12 C on Thursday and 8 yesterday, and people sipping coffee on patios and strolling the beaches of English Bay.
By comparison, the lowest temperature on Mars as measured this week by the rover Spirit was -15, while midday yesterday it was -16 in Ottawa, -20 in Halifax and -21 in Moncton. Add in wind chill and it felt closer to -40 in Halifax.

That's Mars during the day...at night it's a whole 'nother ball of ice.
Plus, that **summer** on Mars. Winter would freeze even the toughest Canuck.
