Comparable? Probably 3-4 years.

What should be done about those lame hockey trades where a disgruntled superstar on a bad team with one year left on his contract gets traded away for a pittance because the GM knows he'll just leave anyway?

[Cort Haus]

Were you aware that some cities have so much history that they don't need to make their mark on the world by waving around enormous artificial penises?

Indeed, preserving the views of a fine and gravity-defying breast (eg: St Paul's) is considered a priority.

Nope, not FACT, even per capita.
You are NOTHING in space industry and absolute ZERO in military aircraft building.

And yes, your aircraft tend to be the result of espionage. One of your earliest passenger airliners was a ripoff of an American long-range bomber from World War 2. The Tu-144 was the result of stealing Concorde plans, except the Tu-144 had issues in not crashing.

Our first strategic bomber Tu-4 (build in 1947, iirc) was indeed a pure copy of American B-29. And it has a civilian variant (which B-29 had not), it's true.

If anyone had stole designs of the supersonic passenger airliner that were Concorde engineers, because Tu-144 make its first flight earlier than Concorde (though, this is BS, since they are different designs and our Tu-144 was far more superior than its counterpart). But' btw, where the **** is Canadian counterpart of Tu-144/Concorde?
Superior engineers, my ass.
Velcro is your best achievment ever. Just accept this sad fact and shut up.

Oh, what's the deal with that Canadian town whose greatest attraction is a giant nickel? Why does that town suck so much?

The concorde was superior but the Tu-144 was more superior?

The CanadaArm is AMAZING and I will not hear any arguments to the contrary!

You need to read up on history.

The Paris Air Show crash in 1973 of the Tu-144 was because the Anglo-Brits found the leak and leaked false designs to the Russians. Who then used them and crashed.

The Tu-144 couldn't even maintain supersonic cruise without afterburners. WEAK.

Canada never built a supersonic passenger liner. But Canada did build the Avro Arrow, which is 1000x cooler than the Tu-144 or any jet the Russians had at the time.

What is more sad, that the greatest engineering achievement of Canada is Velcro, or that every Russian "achievement" pales in comparison?

As long as it's not my team, this should be encouraged.

I've seen two guys from London in the nude, and I'd say you need all the compensation you can get.

I don't even know which town this is, but it's assuredly cooler than Vulcan, Alberta:

It's a nonsense argument. The Tu-144 was slower, less aerodynamic, with shorter range, and crashed a lot.

Your avatar is clearly a burned (or possibly rotting) corpse wearing a turban. You can see the skull and rib cage quite clearly. I'm not quite sure how Wiggy sees it as a squirrel.

Burned rotting phallic symbol = disturbing.
