Another Canadian invention: the standard graphics of a stylized man and woman used to identify which washroom is which: they were first introduced at Expo 67 in 1967, to deal with the international crowds there (Expo 76 was the Montreal World’s Fair, and was held in honour of Canada’s 100th birthday), and the symbols were adopted all over the world.

You’re not alone. I’ve been reading and sometimes posting here since it’s conception in July 2006, that’s before people started to say “first” in their posting.
Been a Fan since the 60’s, yep, the originals back in Sept, 1966. I’m alive and well in St. John’s, NL Canada.

It is great to see another Newfie here! :) I am a Newfie living in Ottawa. I have kept wondering if I was only a Newfie who has taken part in reading and posting comments here.

In this case you wonder where on the Rock I am from. I grew up in a tiny village near Corner Brook. :)

I have lost my interest in watching the Space Channel because this network has showned alot of horror movies on the weekends lately. They should show much more movies like the 1950s classic science fiction movies.
