        I mean it also thinks that Lights is the most famous person from Timmins, which is nuts in a world where Shania Twain exists. -- nm - mafic Aug 2, 20:15 1
        
        ah, never mind, seems she was born in Windsor and moved to Timmins at 2. -- nm - mafic Aug 2, 20:17

        ok but is that like me zooming in on Perth and only recognising one name? Coffey and Shanahan are pretty big names. -- nm - mafic Aug 2, 19:36 2
        
        Maybe - but I'm still surprised as Toronto's such a big city, though it's also a place people move to more than come from -- nm - Roger More Aug 2, 21:02

  - Nothing so dire. I'm leaning towards them reshooting scenes in The Flash with Grant Gustin and if he's the "movie Flash" now, he can't be "TV Flash". -- nm - Mop Aug 2, 18:58 3
    - that's an insane reason to axe a $90 million movie. -- nm - mafic Aug 2, 19:00 2
      - But a perfectly cromulent reason to end the CW series, which is what they're doing. -- nm - Mop Aug 2, 19:08 1
