[but I know what you mean]

When our children were babies/toddlers, my wife and I had a deal: any awake baby before midnight she would deal with, any after midnight I would deal with. Accordingly I had many mornings where I would come downstairs with the child at 5am or thereabouts, turn on the telly, and catch all sorts of completely random but nonetheless fascinating OU programmes. Happy memories of how they slice the sheets for making plywood off the tree trunk and other essentials aspects of modern (well, late 1990s) life.

I used to really like the late night OU broadcasts. Some of the lecturers were funny in a dry, British kind of way. I remember one experiment that involved researchers stressing rats with flashing bright lights and sudden loud noises (nice!) and a nerd saying that they worked out how scared the rats were "... by measuring the rate of faecal boli deposition. In other words - how often they sh*t!"
