And I saw a knife which never ever dulls, also on TV. I even saw an honest politician there. Here goes, just Wikipedia:

The myth of lemming mass suicide is long-standing and has been popularized by a number of factors. In 1955, Disney Studio illustrator Carl Barks drew an Uncle Scrooge adventure comic with the title "The Lemming with the Locket". This comic, which was inspired by a 1954 National Geographic Society article, showed massive numbers of lemmings jumping over Norwegian cliffs.[9] Even more influential was the 1958 Disney film White Wilderness, which won an Academy Award for Documentary Feature, in which footage was shown that seems to show the mass suicide of lemmings.[10] In more recent times, the myth is well-known as the basis for the popular 1991 video game Lemmings, in which the player must stop the lemmings from mindlessly marching over cliffs or into traps. A Canadian Broadcasting Corporation documentary, Cruel Camera, found that the lemmings used for White Wilderness were flown from Hudson Bay to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where they did not jump off the cliff, but in fact were launched off the cliff using a turntable.[11]

> As for snow, I have several words for snow. They are often used while driving. GD snow and DG ice are a couple of my most used terms.

There's an old story (at least in web terms, it circulates since the 90s) about a Bosnian in Canada, snow and the snow plow... too bad it's untranslatable (unless you sacrifice about 80% of the experience). First, learn to pronounce "grtalica", then take this to anyone who speaks Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian et al, and ask for a translation up to 10th of may (then the guy in the story moves to Florida, not as funny).
