Which means I should make sure Pixel does not hear it? He has a pair
of handcuffs after all...

Oh, but No Problem, Sir!

*looks innocent*

Here, have this cake.

I just smoked it. Anyone for at bite?

Oh, so *that* was what they were doing at the town square the other

A quick count here:

The stairs: five click-and-stay-on-for-two-minutes (or around two
            minutes)
6 push-buttons that has a little marker telling whether it is on or
            off (one with nothing connected)
5 bottom half pushed in for light (two with nothing connected)
None top half pushed in for light

We have one of those but it's on the table, making a mess.

One of ours don't. Or, as long as you don't push it (the entire
switch, not the button) it mostly works.

> And don't get me started on keys with teeth up or down inserted into locks.

I have given up on that. Also I would be afraid they'd bite with those
teeth.

I think we should have a more detailed survey - blonde and Daffy
should do the research for the States and Australia...
