So I don't talk about my family too often 'round here, but I'd like to say a little about my sister, Susie.

Susie's a teacher in Los Angeles, teaching Biology to 8th graders, and in addition she teaches on the Homework channel, where 70,000 kids see her for about an hour each week. I've seen tapes of her shows and I'm proud and amazed at what she can do, on live TV no less.

Last week she did a 20-minute presentation on using crickets to tell the temperature, or to be more specific, she did a presentation on how the real world differs from the ideal scientific method. I think this is her best episode, and though I don't expect anyone to watch the whole 20 minutes, there are some really funny bits for those of you who do. Enjoy!
