Bee is a daddy of two and a childminder of quite a few more. Luckily his brain is wired up all wrong with his play nodes sitting where his sense of decorum should be. He has been known to teach philosophy; which is like childcare but with less questions.

I've heard about Life on Mars and will have to set the DVR for that one. Also, my wife located QI on YouTube, and we watched the first episode. Definitely funny! But I don't think it would fly over here.
I believe Coupling lasted about 6 episodes on NBC before it was pulled. Sometimes we Yanks can be too Puritanical :)

No QI on BBC America yet, but from the QI.com site I hope it comes soon! Here's what we can get across the pond:
I really like your blog. And I am wondering if you can help me. I have a vague recollection from when I was a child, of making something I called a Chicken String. It had something to do with an upside-down styro-foam cup and a piece of string threaded through in someway, so that when you pulled the string it made a Cluck Cluck Cluck noise just like a chicken. Whenever I try and describe my Chicken String to anyone, they look at me like I am crazy. Are you able to shed any light on this item, or am I destined to be a Chicken String Nutter for the rest of my life?
Thanks for the comment! My anti-social husband views blogging as a social activity and therefore SCOFFS at it. If he didn't do laundry, I may have traded him in on a new bloggy-friendly model.
Oh my God, Bee! Did your kid really eat a glowstick? They are made from the checmical reaction between hydrogen peroxide and another checmical, I think phenyl oxalate ester, or sodium hydroxide, plus flourescent dye... not to mention the little tiny glass shards that float in that flourescent liquid - the glass that breaks inside the glowstick allowing the two chemicals to mix - I'd be more worried about ingesting that than the chemicals... any of which would make you puke your guts out.
