  1. Let me guess, they outsourced the production and design to a Norwegian firm?

  2. “What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen maple leaf?”
    “Canadian or Norwegian?”

  3. This is the scientist equivalent of someone correcting for “Frankenstein’s monster” instead of “Frankenstein.”

    Headline tease.

    I was hoping for an Emma Stone nip slip.

  5. Looks more like a Maplelikeish Photoshopus, to me. Probably the Eastern variety, but I’ll need more time to study multiple samples.

  6. Even worse than the maple leaf, the notes have a picture of someone they declared independence from 150 years ago
