>
>Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six
>days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the
>seventh day. He inquired of God, 'Where have you been?' God sighed a
>deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the
>clouds, 'Look Michael, look what I've made.'
>
>Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, 'What is it?' 'It's a
>planet,' replied God, 'and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it
>Earth and it's going to be a place of great balance.' 'Balance?'
>inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing to
>different parts of Earth, 'For example, Northern Europe will be a
>place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going
>to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot. Over
>there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a
>continent of black people,' God continued, pointing to different
>countries. 'This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one
>will be very cold and covered in ice.'
>
>The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large
>landmass in the top corner and asked, 'What's that one?' 'Ah,' said
>God. 'That's Canada, the most glorious place on Earth. There are
>beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite
>coastline. The people from Canada are going to be modest,
>intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling
>the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard working and high
>achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats
>and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them super-human,
>undefeatable ice hockey players who will be admired and feared by
>all who come across them.'
>Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed; 'What
>about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!' God replied
>wisely. 'Wait until you see the loud-mouth bastards I'm putting next
>to them....'
