Self magazine polled a thousand 25-35 year old women from China to find out which male celebrity they most desired to father their children.

Andy Lau, chinese actor slash model came out on top, followed by craggy billionaire Bill Gates in second, and the (admittedly) handsome Takeshi Kaneshiro also sneaked in for a Top 3 finish.

Although my Chinese readership is paltry — I must say I did feel a pang of hurt, not even making the list.

I mean come on. Brad Pitt may be good looking and quite possibly the sexiest man alive, sure, but can he do math?

After seeing how cramped some classes at the school can get, I don’t think I’ll ever complain again about a high school or university class in Canada.

In some of the rooms at the school, girls and boys are forced to stand at the back or sit on the ground, literally trapped by dozens of bodies and unable to leave the room without stepping over each other.

Standing at the front of the room near the blackboard, I have about three feet of room each side to walk about before I bump into the students.

But I feel most for the students sitting a foot away from the blackboard. With their faces nearly touching the board, they have to sit through a storm of chalkdust whenever I erase the boards.

Of course, it doesn’t help that blackboard erasers aren’t used but rather, conveniently wadded piece of newspaper or lined paper.

I know I’m a day late, but better late than never.

Happy Camel Canada Day!
