Cartoons and Legos

Have you ever wondered about what living with a house full of girls does to the only male of the house? I have. I'm already sure I know more about Hello Kitty than most guys, and am adding knowledge of other foreign cartoon characters as well. These include Pocoyo, Kai-Lan, and Pokemon at the moment. What happens when I have two girls?

For those of you who wish to test your knowledge on the above characters, can you name the countries of origin for each without resorting to web searches?

I've also been getting pretty good with pop beads. However, I'm trying fight back. Kid H and I spent a lot of time a few weekends ago working on building a Sikorsky Skycrane Lego set (which I'm proud to say I knew by name when I saw the box on the shelf), complete with a working winch. It's a pretty close model of the original, and both Kid H and I are enjoying playing with it. We're going to try for the plane or boat next, but need to find one of the pieces of the rotor first. It's probably under a sofa.
