Frequent masturbation lessens risk of prostate cancer
From an article at CBC.ca: "Scientists in Australia determined that men in their 20s who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer later in life. The study suggests ejaculation by means of mastur...
Low-volume flush toilets are crap!
My dad has just renovated his house. New siding, and a completely new kitchen and bathroom. It looks fantastic, as new and shiny things do. But when shopping for a new toilet (the old one was yellow and just doesn't fit the new colour scheme), the problem o...
Happy Canada Day!
Spine.cx wishes Canada a happy 136th birthday. To give people something to comment on, how are you spending your holiday? Edit 07/02 0051h: Just got back from watching the fireworks. They sucked. But I did take some photos. The most interesting thing...
At least we have our priorities straight
I thought, I'll test my theory of buying beer on Sunday and go down to the Cold Beer Store on Agricola Street. It was closed. But wait! There's a sign telling me to go down to Water Street to the Keith's brewery store. To the Stevemobile! I park and walk ...
Some people are just weird
This actually happened a couple of days ago, but I forgot to mention it on the site. Something today jogged my memory. Anyway, I'm in a restaurant, and I finishing my meal, and this guy at one of the nearby tables is in the same boat. He's just getting serv...
What's there to do in Halifax in the fall?
Christine writes: "This coming October (I know, it's pretty far away) I will be travelling out east with some friends. We are heading to Cape Breton for the Celtic Colours Festival but on our way back are hitting Halifax. From what I hear about your wonderful...
Why do I always get the crazy ones?
All I wanted to do was get some groceries. I finish going through the isles and head up to the checkout with my cart full of goodies and hope to be on my way fairly soon. Unfortunately the cashier apparently has other plans. She tells me about how she reall...
Ownership of Montreal Grill
The ownership of the Montreal Grill (the restaurant in the basement of the Bank of Montreal building on Hollis & George) has changed hands. It is now owned by the Greek couple that owned the Soup'er Sandwich a few years back. They have promised to bring back...
TABU: Forbidden Fruit
Here is the second review of an alcoholic beverage ever done on Spine.cx. I'm not doing Baja Tango, like I said I would, basically because I didn't feel like drinking that stuff right now. I was buying some beer (Keith's has the 15-packs back for the summer)...
Palm Zire 71
At first, I was cheesed off because I had purchased an m515 about a month before the Zire 71 was announced by Palm because, at the time, the m515 was the best price/performance value, in my opinion. Since the Zire 71 was offered with a built in camera and MP3...
Group wants you to donate your $155 cheque to charity
According to several articles, including this one, a coalition of church groups want you to donate your $155 forthcoming cheque to charity, to help the homeless. I wonder if this is something that people will actually do? How exactly is it vote-buying if you ...
Greekfest 2003
This coming weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) is the planned date for Greekfest 2003. Experience what a donair should *really* taste like! Have your own piece of baklava! The possibilities are endless. Come on down and drink your fill of Ouzo and do...
FNP 7: The Matrix Get-Loaded
I know you're all waiting for them with baited breath, so here are the photos. Don't forget the comments and ratings! I had more people ask than usual if there were any extra shirts this time, so the design is going to change slightly to not so much reflec...
Bacardi Ciclon
Here at Spine.cx, we feel that it is important to provide the viewing public with not only reviews of frivolous things like CDs, movies, and pop bottles on the street, but also important things like alcohol. It is with that sentiment that I give to you the fi...
I am the champion
They say necessity is the mother of invention, and I guess they were right about that one. Being at work when you don't want to be there; on a Friday afternoon; when it's sunny outside; can make your mind do weird things. We invented a new sport: Carpet Sur...
FNP 7: Crawl updates
Some further information for you crawlin' peeps to dig. The printers tell me the shirts will be ready on the 22nd of May. I have called all the bars to let them know we're coming and to see what deals I could get out of them for the crawl. Click inside to...
Camping trip 2003 redux
Just letting everyone know that the group campsite at Blomidon has been booked for the weekend of August 1st through the 4th for around 20 people. So if you care, you should make sure you can get that Friday (August 1st) off. If you don't know what I'm talk...
Somebody's getting a littering ticket
So, I'm standing on Hollis Street, minding my own business when out of nowhere, this truck drives by and starts dumping empty plastic bottles of every sort all over the road right in front of Province House. And NOT by accident. Nearly the entire street was ...
The only thing worse than software problems...
Are hardware problems. I was very happy to finally get a new, up-to-date machine (2.4 GHz P4) machine at work last week, complete with a shiny new 40 Gb hard drive. I installed the newly-gold Windows Server 2003 and the slew of applications that I need to do...
Ads?! WTF!?
I have taken a big step with the website today. I decided to try offering textual ads for sale on Spine.cx. I don't really see any reason why it would piss anyone off, but that's what I find myself worrying about. It's not like they're as bad as banner ads, ...
