FYI in case you're not an American, this is from a quiz show called "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth-Grader?"...the implication being that the majority of the contestants are not. Contestants seem to be selected for their ability to appear peppy and enthusiastic and dim--Kellie is pretty much par for the course.

Now that I look at the Wikipedia entry, I have to admit I was unaware of the various international versions, including "Are You Smarter Than A Canadian Fifth Grader?"

Has anyone seen the Polish version, "Czy jeste? m?drzejszy od 5-klasisty?"

Juche!

FYI "Crazy English" isn't just a description of the video--it's the trademark name for a whole range of language lessons hawked by "Crazy" Li Yang.

I dunno how his business is doing these days, but only a couple of years ago his company was a publishing juggernaut in the learning-English-self-help niche.

This is pretty and everything but...haven't doll house collectors had teapots at this scale for centuries?

...and the teeth on that guy!

FYI deboning for Turducken isn't such a big deal--the meat counter will generally take care of it for you.

Prep time is longer than for a normal turkey but I'm pretty sure it didn't take anywhere near nine hours.

I liked the way the instructions on the old cabinet used to say something like "Press Jump to make Jumpman Jump". Genius!

I like it! Kitsch never goes out of style. ;-)

Saw this posted on Slashdot (by the world's most unreliable moderator), the whole thing stinks of a made-up story. Why are there no names? There's not even a site at babelfish.com...it's babelfish.altavista.com. How could they not be bothered to even "fact-check" that simple detail?

It's something like "ta ma de bu hao kan".

It's concept art, not a photo. Sheesh.

Not only that, but Neatorama reported this last December.

Open up! It's the Grammar Police!

Your/You're. It's not complicated, for heaven's sake, lean it.

I don't agree with this either. It is harm for the sake of harm. I doubt the exent of the person's critter problem, I have a large garden full of squirrels, I don't mind them being there. This person has clearly been luring them into that contraption with bait. If they weren't doing that, the squirrels would probably stay well away from the house.

I think this should be removed. Not funny.
