Pro~SPARTA~ Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I see the Canadian Propaganda Ministry is in full swing. By the way, I work for the company founded by the father of radio: Guigliermo Marconi. He invented the transceiver, AM Radio and made the first transatlantic radio transmission from Canada to the UK, but he was not Canadian. Guess from where Mr. Marconi hailed...? ...that's right, England. Oh sure he was Italian, but the geograhic and marketing hype surrounding anything "Transatlanic" was so huge he could not pass up the opportunity. Remember Charles Lindburgh? Same principal. As for the famous people you mention, where do they live now? And why? Because of your healthcare system that takes over a year to treat serious illness and your 62% marginal effective tax bracket. Your redeeming quality is that you don't have nukes and the Montreal women are the sexiest in the world. Thems the facts folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNo~SPARTA~ Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 ...--.--...-..-..--- And now the News..... Today more Canadian Propaganda....lol Actually were not really smart enough for propaganda and all Canadians in the US are secret under cover operatives....ooopss... crap..... dont let anyone know eh! Dec. 23, 1900. The Canadian physicist Professor Reginald Aubrey Fessenden transmits speech using a spark-gap transmitter. He spoke the words, "One, two, three, four, is it snowing where you are Mr. Thiessen? If it is, would you telegraph back to me?" Mr. Thiessen, one mile way, heard the transmission. His voice was the first ever to be transmitted by radio waves and heard by another person. Dec. 12, 1901. Marconi believes he hears letter "S" transmitted by Morse Code from Poldhu to Signal Hill, St. Johns NF. [The feat was considered the first transatlantic radio transmission, but later researchers have concluded that his reception was not possible and that Marconi may have instead heard static caused by lightning.] Then that darn Tesla got the first patent for radio. Thats just not fair. Where do they live now: lol, no kidding eh, if I had my way Id be down there too. Lots of good friends, great places to visit, and $2.99 breakfast's. Man do we get ripped off up here. Health care system ...... sucks no matter where ya go. Tax bracket yeah ya got me there.... lol We pay alot of tax and your right no nukes....lol could you imagine Qubec with nukes..... holy crap :blink: or worse Newfoundland! But youd have an extra half hour if they launched. Hey, we did manage to scrap enough scratch to buy a C17 so we dont have to borrow as many of yours, thanks by the way! we appreciate the ride! Afganastan was too far to paddle the ol birtchbark canoe and with the pole melting the dogsled is definatly out. Re Montreal..... oh yeah and they do this really great amazing make your eyes roll back.... thing....there... oh, thats a secret too Re Jim Carrey- yeah lol your right. :wacko: Loved the comment from Robin Williams, so true! Avril's pretty cute... I wonder if she knows that Montreal secret...........Ill have to ask. :wub: All in good fun, its great to laugh at ones self eh ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro~SPARTA~ Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 ROFLMAO!!!! I just busted out laughing in Washington DC Dulles Airport waiting to hitch a ride home and everyone is looking at me like I'm funny - but that title belongs to you Dr. No! Sheesh. You get the best post of the week award. BTW, Tesla was Russian (Nicolai Tesla) and it was Anthony Stubblefield who patented the first wireless transmitter in 1892 using spark gap transmission, which he showed at the World's Fair Columbian Exposition in New York City. What the heck. They were all prima donna's, including Thomas Edison. Marconi wanted the world to know he had devised a method of changing the radio wave's amplitude in order to modulate a voice signal (amplitude modulation or AM) so on Christmas eve 190x (i'll have to look up the actual year) he broadcast Christmas Carols on the Transatlanic Wireless Telegraph frequency in use for the ships going between the UK and New York. Instead of hearing dits and dahs, they heard music on the Edison Phonograph. He was all the rage in the papers. Today it seems so simple.
