Well, it was fun while it lasted for ambitious hunters hoping to fly to an exotic location, nab that monster buck, and fly back home with their trophy antlers. One might think the cost would be only the price of the ticket, as well as the need to tell your hunting story to a few curious onlookers. The truth is, the antlers need a ticket almost as pricy as the riders themselves - $75 dollar per ride - and once June 10th rolls around, that price is going up to $100 on Frontier Airlines. This is a special rule, applicable only to antlers. . . because, let's face it, everyone was tired of antlers riding for free.

A Canadian baby is born every minute and 29 seconds, while a Canadian passes away every two minutes and 29 seconds. Given this trend of birth and deaths, Canada's population is expected to hit 33. 3 million by July 2008. For the Action Democratique du Quebec, the country's natural birth rate is not growing fast enough to spare the province from becoming a gray one. ACT believes a faster pace of economic growth can be achieved by Quebec if their women have more babies. ACT is suggesting at least two children per Quebec woman.

An employee who fought back against a robber admitted his heroic deed was prompted by his concern of how it would look on YouTube if he did not. Dustin Hoffmann, a Dunkin' Donuts employee, was reported to have whacked a robber on the head with the store's tip cup, after the thief attacked him and started taking cash from the register. "What was going through my mind at that point was that the security tape is either going to show me run away and hide in the office or whack this guy in the head," Hoffmann said. "So I just grabbed the cup and clocked that guy pretty hard. "
