My morning has been spent in research regarding child pornography. Let's hope no one looks at my computer's history.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Baby!

My friend in the cube next door had a research consultation this morning about parent-child incest. She was pretty uncomfortable (even though of course this is a valid sociological research question.)

Oh, don't worry. I have the professor's original question, and child porn is the topic of most of her articles. I can only imagine what her computer would reveal.

(Actually, I think I did sleep on the way over. Note: think. I took sleeping pills, but have hazy memories of the flight, so.)

Spongebob Saves Lives: NY Girl Saves Choking Friend With Cartoon Lesson

"Allyson was chewing gum, which she shouldn't have been," Miriam recalled Friday in a mock tattletale voice during an interview in the principal's office. "We were laughing and then the gum gets lodged in Ally's throat. And she stopped laughing, which was weird because Ally laughs a lot."

That's when Miriam says she recalled an episode of the popular Nickelodeon cartoon, where she believes she saw SpongeBob use the Heimlich maneuver to retrieve a clarinet lodged in the throat of another character, Squidward.

"And I get her up and I do the Heimlich and the gum goes flying out of her mouth," she said.

Allyson, who pleads guilty to chewing a wad of Trident Original Flavor, realized almost immediately what her friend had done. "I gave her the biggest hug and I was like, 'Miriam you just saved my life. I owe you big time.' And she's just, 'Oh, no, it was no big deal.'"

...

One little hiccup in the heartwarming story is that a Nickelodeon spokeswoman says there was never an actual episode of SpongeBob performing the Heimlich.

"Not that we can find," said spokeswoman Maria Poulos.

She said there was an episode where Squidward swallows a clarinet, but SpongeBob reaches down his throat to pull it out. In another episode, SpongeBob's pal Patrick tries to perform a "slimelick" maneuver by reaching around a clam, "but it didn't work," she said.

Neither Miriam nor Allyson were concerned with such technicalities.

"It didn't exactly show the Heimlich maneuver, per se, but SpongeBob kicked Squidward in the stomach the same way you would put pressure with your hands," Allyson said. Miriam says she is also a fan of medical shows like "Grey's Anatomy," but never had any formal training in the technique.

"reaching around a clam" sounds obscene....
