Quote "On a Canadian two dollar bill, the flag flying over the Parliament building is an American flag."

If I'm not mistaken the flag was actually the pre 1965 Canadian flag. Maybe someone here can shed more light on that.

 

Well, I dug this up on the net.....

On a Canadian two dollar bill, the flag flying over the Parliament
building is an American flag that got the most mail.
First, it's actually an old Canadian flag, if I recall correctly
(the maple leaf is actually quite new... part of the 1967 centennial
stuff, I believe) - it's just so small it's easily mistaken for the stars and
stripes.
Second, the Canadian $2 bill no longer exists, except in our
memories and collector's vaults. We now have the toonie coin
(you know, the one that falls apart if you throw it hard, a good partner
for the loonie...) -Heather the Buzzard
And Bill Clark wrote The flag on the Parliament Buildings on the
Canadian two-dollar bill is ... the Canadian Red Ensign, which was a
defacto flag for Canada until 1965 when the current design was adopted.
It has a Union Jack in the upper-left, a red field and the Canadian coat
of arms on the field.
The image on the two is VERY small. One can see that the flag is not
the current one, but other detail is lacking.

 

Never had my wallet considered as a vault as I still keep a two dollar bill in there for luck. This is one of the last of the two dollar bill series and you can see that they changed from the red ensign tp the current flag.

 

That's good,
Still don't tell me y toilet paper cames in such small sheets and paper towels so large...................PHEW

 

I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble, but this one for sure is wrong, and several others look highly suspect. Perhaps this meant to say a mayfly's adult lifespan?

Dragonfly lifecycles, from nymph to airborne menace, last anywhere from 6 months to 7 years, depending on the species. The adult stage of that can be from 2 weeks to 4 months, again depending on the species. Some prehistoric dragonfly species had wingspans of over 30 inches.

Extant or extinct, dragonflies kick ***. For more information about them, consult your local library!
