Arrrggghhhh... Shiver me timbers matie.

Me thinks the Knights Templar sailed away with a treasure, and tis buried in Oak Island, but it's been flooded beneath in an underground abyss because other careless treasure hunters messed up it for us sophisticated treasure hunters in the twenty-first century.

Speaking of the Knights Templar, Oak Island would be a good place to bury all the pre-release copies of Ron Howard's movie The Da Vinci Code on DVD.

Personally, I think it was a hoax orchestrated by the Priory of Sion, the Nova Scotia tourism bureau and a one-eyed Canadian harbormaster named Willy, in order to get people to come to the maritime provinces and spend money. Because Nova Scotia has a whole lot of nothing, they had to make up a past. They also made up that stuff about Vikings colonizing the maritimes...

Pssttt... Yeah right! Leif Ericson, the first Canadian. Whatever?!? They would have you believe he drinks Molson Beer and says "Eh," at the end of every sentence too.

The moral of the story... Don't believe in Canadian fairy tales.

I thought he said "Uff da". Oh, yeah, that's Minnesota not Canada. Sorry!
