Thanks for yet another informative and entertaining WR. I would like to comment on the following line: "and a grizzly bear killed a woman near a golf course in Canada." Do you know if that golf course in Canada was owned by Bob from Canada? I live in Edmonton, Alberta, and I would just like to encourage perhaps a little more detail when referring to our country. We know your 50 states, but do you know our 12 provinces?

Update: Emdashes reader Joe Clark helpfully points out that, contrary to the figure in the above Canadian's characteristically restrained yet witty letter, "Canada has 10 provinces and three territories." True enough, but I figure crafty ol' Jerry put in a ringer just to further show up dumb Americans, of which I am half a one. The other half of me totally knew that, though.
