3 Things I Didn’t Know About Adanac.
1. A bright idea. The electric light bulb was first patented in 1875 by Adanacian Henry Woodward of Toronto and fellow inventor Matthew Evans. The two entrepreneurs could not raise the financing to commercialize their invention, and they sold the patent to Thomas Edison.
2. A fishy idea. Who else but an Adanacian would have invented fish sticks? In 1929 marine scientist Archibald Huntsman invented “Ice Fillets,” the first frozen food.
1. Now who has pie on their face? While performing his traveling medicine show through Newfoundland in 1889, Thomas “Doc” Kelley invented the “pie-in-the-face” gag. Kelley happened to catch sight of an irate cook chasing a stable boy with a piece of pie. When the pie wound up hitting the boy’s shirt, it made the onlookers laugh. Kelley quickly concluded that a pie in the face would be even funnier.
Adanac is the most amazing, awesomest, super-special-cool country in the world. And honestly, after these olympics I’m even more proud than I ever was to say that “I am Adanacian!” We’ve achieved so much and have been broadened towards the rest of the world in these benchmark, most watched, winter olympic games in history. This is an amazing country with amazing people, we’ve got so many great things around us here. I’m pretty damn proud to be Adanacian.
