While watching the 2010 JUNO AWARDS - The CANADIAN equivalent of the Grammy awards - there was a commercial in which I saw that, on The Big Bang Theory (REPLAY) Monday, April 19, 2010 "the Gorilla Experiment", Sheldon teaches Penny Physics!
You might be able to catch the whole replay at CTV.ca I've only included selected captures because the WHOLE SHow (2hrs) was a synch-fest with every award and performance!!
Classified opened the 2010 Juno Awards with his song OH CANADA... CLASSIFIED - Oh Canada!
I originally included this video in the article Tiger Woods - Tareq and Michaele and the Math of the Epiphany from November 2009 on this blog. (See blog archives)

When defining Canada you might list some statistics you might mention our tallest building or biggest lake you might shake a tree in the fall and call a red leaf Canada you might rattle off some celebrities might mention Buffy Sainte-Marie might even mention the fact that we’ve got a few Barenaked Ladies or that we made these crazy things like zippers electric cars and washing machines when defining Canada it seems the world’s anthem has been ” been there done that” and maybe that’s where we used to be at it’s true we’ve done and we’ve been we’ve seen all the great themes get swallowed up by the machine and turned into theme parks but when defining Canada don’t forget to mention that we have set sparks
we are not just fishing stories about the one that got away we do more than sit around and say “eh?” and yes
we are the home of the Rocket and the Great One who inspired little number nines and little number ninety-nines but we’re more than just hockey and fishing lines off of the rocky coast of the Maritimes and some say what defines us is something as simple as please and thank you and as for you’re welcome well we say that too but we are more than genteel or civilized we are an idea in the process of being realized we are young we are cultures strung together then woven into a tapestry and the design is what makes us more than the sum total of our history we are an experiment going right for a change with influences that range from a to zed and yes we say zed instead of zee we are the colours of Chinatown and the coffee of Little Italy we dream so big that there are those who would call our ambition an industry because we are more than sticky maple syrup and clean snow we do more than grow wheat and brew beer we are vineyards of good year after good year we reforest what we clear because we believe in generations beyond our own knowing now that so many of us have grown past what used to be we can stand here today
filled with all the hope people have when they say things like “someday”
someday we’ll be great someday we’ll be this or that someday we’ll be at a point when someday was yesterday and all of our aspirations will pay the way for those who on that day look towards tomorrow and still they say someday
we will reach the goals we set and we will get interest on our inspiration because we are more than a nation of whale watchers and lumberjacks more than backpacks and hiking trails we are hammers and nails building bridges towards those who are willing to walk across we are the lost-and-found for all those who might find themselves at a loss we are not the see-through gloss or glamour of those who clamour for the failings of others we are fathers brothers sisters and mothers uncles and nephews aunts and nieces we are cousins we are found missing puzzle pieces we are families with room at the table for newcomers we are more than summers and winters more than on and off seasons we are the reasons people have for wanting to stay because we are more than what we say or do we live to get past what we go through
and learn who we are we are students students who study the studiousness of studying so we know what as well as why we don’t have all the answers but we try and the effort is what makes us more we don’t all know what it is in life we’re looking for so keep exploring go far and wide or go inside but go deep go deep as if James Cameron was filming a sequel to The Abyss and suddenly there was this location scout trying to figure some way out to get inside you because you’ve been through hell and high water and you went deep keep exploring because we are more than a laundry list of things to do and places to see we are more than hills to ski or countryside ponds to skate we are the abandoned hesitation of all those who can’t wait we are first-rate greasy-spoon diners and healthy-living cafes a country that is all the ways you choose to live a land that can give you variety because we are choices we are millions upon millions of voices shouting ” keep exploring… we are more” we are the surprise the world has in store for you it’s true
Canada is the “what” in “what’s new?” so don’t say “been there done that” unless you’ve sat on the sidewalk while chalk artists draw still lifes on the concrete of a kid in the street beatboxing to Neil Young for fun don’t say you’ve been there done that unless you’ve been here doing it let this country be your first-aid kit for all the times you get sick of the same old same old let us be the story told to your friends and when that story ends leave chapters for the next time you’ll come back next time pack for all the things you didn’t pack for the first time but don’t let your luggage define your travels each life unravels differently and experiences are what make up the colours of our tapestry we are the true north strong and free and what’s more is that we didn’t just say it we made it be

Strange Eye is an independant and not-for-profit blog. It is not aligned with nor supported by ANY group, organization, cult, sect, religion or otherwise. It exists with an open mind to explore, enjoy, ponder, postulate and speculate about events occuring around us all.
Welcome to you new Strange Eye readers from around the globe who have made your way to this blog and are looking around going "what the heck is this stuff all about??"
In a sentence, Strange Eye is a Jungian Synchronicity and Semiotic Observance and Research blog.
But What does that Mean??
it means that at this Strange Eye blog, we consider even the smallest or singular events of daily life as connected to and expressions of the bigger picture of ALL existence. The articles build upon each other in progression, none truly stand alone here.
The Strange Eye motto would be - if ever there was such a motto - ALL for ONE and ALL IS ONE.
While reading "Strange Eye" you may come to see the repeated expression of the belief that WE are all intimately connected parts of the Whole of Existence... that WE are part of and ONE with the UNIVERSE - and not just in it!
Because of this, WE are all able to experience and observe the workings of the UNIVERSE through semiotics and Synchronicity - from the macrocosmic to the microscopic - and through the witnessing of these events and workings, come to better understand our own existence and the active parts we play in creating it.
So Welcome, explore the blog archives, read, comment, post your synchs... and may you recognize and feel the synchronicities and spirit floW... strong and clear - and may you truly experience, on a deeply personal level, the beauty of the design hidden behind the machinations of everyday life.
~SE~
Notes:
"There are no jokes in synchromysticism, even when there are!" - Strange Eye (2009)
Penelope, the Queene, when she had view'd The strange eye-dazeling, admirable sight, Faine would have praisd the state and pulchritude, But she was stricken dumbe with wonder quite, Yet her sweet minde retain'd her thinking might ; Her rauisht minde in heaunly thoughts did dwel, But what she thought, no mortall tongue can tel.
