Another 100 Things

The BBC have been very busy spending the licence fee this week because they've just produced another 100 things we didn't know this time last year. This is the second in the series. The first one was called 100 things we didn't know this time last year. Yaxlich can see a theme developing here. Yaxlich chortled heartily when he saw that the medical term for the part of the brain which makes teenagers sulk is called the 'superior temporal sulcus'. Having spent two days in the company of his three teenage nieces, Yaxlich is pleased that he now knows the official term to use in future. One of the other entries that raised a smile was that 'coprolalia' is the term used to describe the involuntary bad language used by 10% of people who suffer from Tourette's syndrome. Coprolalia sounds to Yaxlich like one of the Teletubbies. INTERIOR - TELETUBBY HOUSE - DAY Tinky Winky and Dipsy are in the kitchen. Tinky Winky is icing a cake. Dipsy opens a box of candles. NARRATOR What's that you're doing, Tinky Winky? Tinky Winky indicates to the oven and then back to the cake. NARRATOR You're making a cake? Is it a special occasion? Tinky Winky nods his head and nudges Dipsy who is counting out some candles. Dipsy then points to the dining table which has got four brightly wrapped boxes sitting on it. NARRATOR Is it a birthday cake? Tinky Winky and Dipsy both nod. NARRATOR Whose birthday is it? Tinky Winky and Dipsy both point to Coprolalia who is sitting in the corner twitching spasmodically. NARRATOR Is it your birthday, Coprolalia? COPROLALIA F**k off you mother f*****g c**t
