THE VARSITY
1. Thanksgiving is not a statutory holiday across Canada. In the three Maritime provinces, it is merely an optional holiday.
2. There is not enough tryptophan in turkey to make you fall asleep. The reason you are tired is because you just ate a heavy meal, and are probably drunk.
3. The piece of flesh hanging over a turkey’s beak is a “snood.” The fleshy part of the male’s neck is a “waddle.”
4. Usain Bolt’s maximum speed is 45 km per hour. A wild tur-key’s maximum speed is slower — just 40 km per hour.
5. Contrary to popular belief, wild turkeys do fly — and fast, at that. However, the domesticated animal you may be eating this weekend has probably never flown.
6. Breaking the wishbone is a tradition that predates Thanks-giving. It has been traced back 2,400 years to the Etrus-cans of ancient Italy.
7. Palaeontologists have established that modern birds evolved from dinosaurs. Turkeys are really just bloated velociraptors.
8. Each year, during American Thanksgiving, the president of the United States pardons a live domestic turkey.
9. If you aren’t visiting family this weekend, you should call your mom.
