Ahh.... it's time like these when I thank my lucky stars that the moderator is Canadian. That oughta hit a nerve like a table corner on your funnybone.
That's a nice offer, but I prefer it a tad bit more crispy. Although not like a piece of dried-out orange peel.
See? I told you there was a possibility of disagreement. I am beginning to wonder what is actually meant by biggest.
Greatest on the Richter scale? - Just a number.
Greatest amount of earth movement/displacement? - dependant on depth and type of quake
Greatest damage? - Seems reasonable.
Not sure but the ones I gave were from a YouTube video so I know for sure they're true.

As a fellow Canadian, I too am glad our moderator is Canadian.
I know it's a tough job and sometimes he has to take their bacon away.
But I rest assured that knowing that he will never take the Canadian Bacon away... it's just too yummy!

That looks like peameal bacon. I make it, minus the peameal. 🙂 Yes it's yummy but...
...I'ma gonna let you in on a little secret. Only the USA calls it Canadian Bacon. We call it Back Bacon for obvious reasons but we only eat it on Eggs Benny or WHY. We eat real belly bacon like the rest of you.

Back to the topic at hand...

True, I did not hear of Canadian Bacon until I was living in the US. Here it's just a pizza topping that most people think is ham with a fancy name.
One of my all time favorites from Larson.... reminds me of being a kid

Just had an engineer flag me down, to explain that the thing we disagreed about, he now believes I was correct.
He found a YouTube video that went into detail about ...yada yada...and yes, I was correct, he was wrong...
Sigh...the YouTube video explanation actually had nothing to do with the actual physics of the problem.
I just said thank you and moved on.
My takeaway.... He trusted a YouTube video more than someone with 40 years experience...
If this is the new world train, I want off at the next station..

Hmm, I probably should have specified a non sarcastic one if I really wanted to get somewhere.
An art critic walks up to an artist and asks, would you like to hear my opinion of your work?
Yes, the artist replies.
The critic says 'it's worthless'
Yes, says the artist, but let's hear it anyway.
