So over the past few days a lot of Canadians have been QQ'ing about not getting their supposed-promised Moose-mount for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

So, since a few years ago we got the Chinese dragon pet, can we get a mount for the 2012 Olympics and squash the rumours of the moose mount?

If so, can we please have a big red double decker bus passenger mount (Preferably for about 25 people - Raid members eh).

Thanks.

Midsummer Festival originates from Europe as well i believe, technically Hallow's End originates from Europe as well :P
Correct on both counts. :)

You could also go so far to say that St. Valentine was Italian, as well as Cupid stemming from Roman and Greek mythology (I think), making the roots of the recent Love is in the Air event from this end of the world also. I'm not so hot on "RL" lore.
