Wouldn\'t want to play a game of hockey against beavers though, probably use their teeth in the fights.

The moose frown upon the beavers and the Canadians playing hockey together but when it happens it\'s relitively clean and both sides abide by the rules. When fights break out we just sip back some beer with some maple syrup and forget all about it.

No doubt exchanging plenty of "aboot" and "aye" in conversation.

You know what other population is cool are the Australian\'s(sp?).  How cool is it that they get to chase around kangaroo\'s with a boomerang, blame missing children on a dingo, and get to say "g\'day mate"?

It\'s eh.

Yes, the Australians are interesting people indeed. Long have I desired to throw a boomering at a a french Canadian(dem Quebecs...), but instead have to settle for ethnic slurs and beer bottles. Sigh. I guess everyone there agrees with it being a g\'day and freely calling other Aussies mates when you\'ve wrestled in the shower naked with all your fellow people.

Wrestling in the shower is an East coast thing.

Shower wrestling is definately an East Coast thang wigga.

Australia\'s format is similar to the Yanks

Kindergarten - under 5\'s
Preschool - 6 yo\'
Primary grade 1-7
Junior High grade 8-10
Senior grade 11-12

Then you go to university, college, TAFE whatever, but our university system is very different to the American way. You get accepted purely on what your actually going to study, rather then just getting accepted into the university/college and then choosing courses.

netherlands=
kleuterschool (kindergarten)
basisschool (roughly translated: basic school)
middelbare school: starts at about age 12
universiteit, HBO or MBO: start at around ages 18, 17, 16 (in that order)
