Want to go to a Toronto Historic Museum for Free?
Here’s a good deal for you! How would you like a free family admission to any City of Toronto Historic Museum? Toronto Historic Sites is giving away passes for a limited time.
The passes are valid for a single family visit before October 31, 2013, to one of the ten museums, which include Fort York, Colborne Lodge, and Mackenzie House. It’s a great way to see the city’s rich history firsthand, and to learn about its past.

Here’s my original post about this video: Humiliation Machine at Boulderz
While we’re on the topic I might as well link to two other moments of unintentional 'fame' (yes I suffer from self-absorption):
