And if you ever watched Candian TV, you would think that the full name of
the Space Shuttle is really, "The American Space Shuttle with it's
Candian-Built Robot Arm"!

Ha! Just when I thought it was the "Candian-Built Robot Arm with its
American Space Shuttle"...

I think you both mean "Canadian" - note the extra A! (eh?)

I've also noticed the Canadarm-Shuttle thing - most of the Shuttle footage
Canadian TV shows have the Maple-Leaf-decaled Arm right at screen centre,
too.
