Ah yes that is true, that was misleading. To me those beautiful skies sound like they make Winnipeg a nice place to live, even with the cold. Helsinki sounds like it just has nothing going for it.

According to the link Helsinki is worse in many other areas in November though:

  • 40% more cloudy sky
  • Less than 50% as much fully clear sky
  • More than 100% higher daily chance of precipitation
  • About 2.8 times the amount of rainfall (Edit: a lot less snow though)
  • 87% as much daylight

Throughout the year Winnipeg may be worse in some aspects than this, but Helsinki is definitely worse in November on many scales.

Depends on your definition of "chicken egg". Language is defined by the way people use it and nobody (other than perhaps a few people in this thread) has ever bothered defining what a chiclen egg is: Is it an egg laid by a chicken or is it an egg that contains a chicken

When you go to the supermarket you call that a chicken egg because it was laid by a chicken, even if the egg is incapable of ever containing a chicken (at least from what I know you can't grow chickens from supermarket eggs) So arguably that means eggs laid by chickens are chicken eggs. But nobody has ever had to define whether an egg containing a chicken is also a chicken egg, even if the egg was not laid by a chicken. So if you don't define an egg laid by a proto-chicken to be a chicken egg then you would say that the chicken came before the egg.
