And let's not forget that the little stink-weed has a fondness for brownies, too.

And mechanics were frequently trained enough in AC operations to be able to taxi the bird to its designated parking spot. For a rotorcraft that meant learning how to fly the bird in the most dangerous part of the envelope because most copters don't have wheels to taxi with, they're either flying or they're parked with very little transition between the two.

I know I used to love Danger Mouse when I was little but the only clear memory I have of the show is "Look, DM, lots and lots of ephelants!"

When DM first turned up on Nickelodeon my friends were all telling me I needed to watch. I tuned in and instantly fell in love with it. It's way too full of puns for someone like me not to.

"And if you believe that, you'll believe anything."

"COR!"

The Nickelodeon version of DM is somewhat ... purified ... for US sensibilities - mainly in re-voicing Stiletto with a cockney accent, rather than the Italian one he has in the original - which, until i found out, always made me wonder why this obvious London chav was calling his boss "Baroni"...
