Here's something we already knew , The Montreal Canadiens are worth more than the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Unfortunately sentimental value doesn't count , so for far too long Toronto's team was actually worth more than our beloved Habs (But not in our hearts).

When people are asked what's the worst way you could die, the usual answers are drowning, burning alive or getting eaten by a shark. But at least if that happened, people would feel bad for you. But if you died because you were too busy taking selfie, people might be sad, but they would probably also have a good laugh about it later.

But at least if that happened, you wouldn't be the only one. 12 people experienced "death-by-selfie" this year. Compare that to the 8 deaths related to shark attacks and we might have a new kind of horror movie on our hands.

Here's a question every Montreal should know the answer to. Who drinks more, Anglophones or Francophones? Although the Francophones have a reputation for being big drinkers, I largely expected the Anglophones to come out on top because of all the binge drinking college students.

But in the end it's the Francophones and their Joie De Vivre that makes them the biggest drinkers in Montreal.

Everyone is bothered by the big things in life. Sometimes bad shit just happens, like car accidents, losing your phone or getting caught in a rainstorm without warning. But life also has many "little annoyances", simple that shouldn't bother you that much, but they do. In fact they can be borderline infuriating, and the worst part is we've all experienced these more than once in our lifetime.

As someone who can't make it through a pedicure without almost reflexively kicking the aesthetician because my feet are so damn ticklish, I was always extremely confused at how other people could just sit there calmly, not batting an eyelash. Now, I know I can't be the only one here so I decided to actually look into why some people are so much more ticklish than others.

As it turns out, there are a few different theories when it comes to figuring out why we're ticklish, but the basics of what it boils down to is evolutionary advantage. The areas that are most sensitive to tickling (like your stomach, neck, feet, etc.) are generally areas that are the most vulnerable, and therefore need protection from potential attacks. The more sensitive you are, the more prepared you'll be.

Everyone knows that person who can't set foot outside without coming back with at least one mosquito bite, either because they have a friend like that or because they are the friend like that. Not understanding why you're being swarmed by seemingly every mosquito and their mother, while your friends are getting off scot free, can get to be a bit frustrating after a while. And trust me, I understand.

Some people, myself included, like to just say that we weren't "made for the outdoors," but as it turns out, that actually might be true. Most of what goes into how frequently you get bitten by mosquitoes has to do with your genetics and body composition - things that are essentially out of your control.

Tourism in Montreal is on the rise and that can only mean good things for our city. It means people enjoy coming here, it means we have a plethora of fantastic events and attractions that attract visitors (and keep us entertained as well) and it means more money is being spend here. Montreal hasn't seen a tourist season this busy since 1995. Nineteen ninety motha fuckin' five! To give you example of how long ago that was, think about this: That was the year of the Oklahoma city bombing, the year of the referendum, the year OJ Simpson was found to be innocent and the year Toy Story 1 came out (I debated between mentioning Toy Story, Jumanji or Batman Forever).

It's safe to say that tourism is thriving here but that's not all, business travel is also up this year turning us into a new hub for conferences and business meetings. This increases our hotel booking rates by 48%. Not only was our total hotel occupancy levels up (about 80%) but the rates are up as well meaning revenues grew by more than 10% since last year.

Playoff fever has taken over the city and Montreal couldn't be happier, after all we're kicking some serious ass. Habs fans everywhere haven't been able to keep their excitement contained and have instead decided to taunt and shit talk our opponents on the internet. But it's not only Ottawa who's getting all the attention, internet users wouldnt dare ignore our greatest rivals of all, the Maple Leafs. After all, lest we forget, Leafs suck!

Need proof? How about the fact that the Montreal Canadiens have more playoff wins in the last 6 days than the Toronto Maple Leafs have had in the last 11 years! Believe dat.

The dating and social networking site Skout conducted a pretty interesting study in honor of National Grilled Cheese Day (April 12th). The study asked nearly 5,000 participants how they felt about grilled cheese, they then asked them a series of questions to find out the differences between the people who love grilled cheese and those who don't.

The results were rather fascinating:
