Packed with humor and heart, JumpStart is a modern comic strip with a classic feel. At the core of the JumpStart family is Joe Cobb, a big-city cop, and his wife, Marcy, a nurse in a bustling Philadelphia hospital. Their jobs are easy compared to the challenge of raising four kids. At the end of the day, Joe and Marcy want what we all want: a good night's sleep. Their oldest, Sunny, is an avid reader who can answer your questions before you have time to do a Google search. Her brother, Jojo (aka Joseph Cobb, Jr.), has aspirations of being president. In fact, he already is president — of his second-grade class. Joe and Marcy's newest surprise additions are the twins, Tommi and Teddy. This talkative pair began conversing in the womb and are still going strong. Imagine what they'll say when they actually learn to speak! Rounding out the cast is Crunchy, a grouchy but warm-hearted police officer who is Joe's partner, and a host of extended family members and friends. You'll enjoy the wit and wisdom of this colorful, unpredictable cast, which includes the antics of in-laws, co-workers, a 6-year-old doctor, and a texting dog named Snoog-A-Boo.

Is there such a thing? You can’t tell with a country that puts waterfowl on their currency.

Does it have uranium in it?

Canada does have a lot of commemorative coins, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

I still wonder if those old “Atomic Bomb” rings (with the hidden message compartment) from the Kix cereal boxtops era ever made me as brainless as my mother often said I was?? I quit after 6 years at collitch studdys..

SCOTTtheBADGER: Don’t talk; the bald eagle is of the fish eagle group. Just another waterfowl.

It’s true. Here’s the Royal Canadian Mint’s page about the glow-in-the-dark dinosaur quarter:

There certainly is, you can buy it from the Royal Canadian Mint website. I believe it’s of a dinosaur.

Also, that guy had better watch out, telling stuff about the glow-in-the-dark quarter coming from Saturn! The RCM does not LIKE its secrets being spread about!
Next thing you know, he’ll mention Canada’s secret interstellar spaceship, that we keep hidden in plain sight as the Parliament of Canada library!
(Seriously, when will people outside Canada finally wise up about the Parliamentary library? Check images of it, just how much more obvious do we have to make it? Land it on the White House lawn? Get a grip, people!)

ghostkeeper: Are you referring to that Avro experiment? Dief kept it and destroyed the Arrow? Or is it anything like the MacMillan planetarium in Vancouver, the one with the giant crab trying to reach it?

@hippogriff
No, not the Avro Arrow, may ‘Dief the Chief’ rot in Toronto for that. I’m referring to the Library of Parliament on Parliament Hill, the only part of the original Parliament of Canada to escape the burning of Parliament in (I think!) 1915. There are reasons to believe it was deliberately set, by the way. Returning to the Library of Parliament, it seriously is a Canadian Gothic spaceship! Pity we never developed the CSG, yet another example of Canada’s politicians having all the intelligence of Pablum!

Sounds like a bunch of our Congressional losers in the US. :p
