    i didnt research the answers and I thought i did quite well! I don't know about Tsar Nicholas II or Pie Day, I'd never even heard of it! I don't know which other one I got wrong though. Looks like we're all going out at the moment....seen as only 5 have submitted their answers!

    God, you should PM us you're posting the questions, I missed that entirely ...

    edit : PM sent, I'm beginning to research what I've left out. Should've read the thread, especially Desert's post about the PI day, could have figured it myself (despite you silly English persons writing dates in the wrong way ...)

    Album "Late registration" hm...didn't know. Pie day, now that was easy..

    They just want to fart and curse!
    Sharon: Should we blame the government?
    Liane: Or blame society?
    Dads: Or should we blame the images on TV?
    Sheila: No, blame Canada
    Everyone: Blame Canada
    Sheila: With all their beady little eyes
    And flappin heads so full of lies
    Everyone: Blame Canada
    Blame Canada
    Sheila: We need to form a full assault
    Everyone: It's Canadas fault!
    Sharon: Don't blame me
    For my son Stan
    He saw the darn cartoon
    And now he's off to join the Klan!
    Liane: And my boy Eric once
    Had my picture on his shelf
    But now when I see him he tells me to **** myself!
    Sheila: Well, blame Canada

    The trash we must smash
    Laughter and fun
    must all be undone
    We must blame them and cause a fuss
    Before someone thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus

    So remember kids, next time you feel like blaming the Americans, there is always the Canadians.
