If I were a Humanities professor, I would have a class entirely about Tales of the City and its influence and mirroring of San Francisco's then zeitgeist. I'd also have a class about Friends and American ideals and morals around the turn of the century (I'd DEFINITELY have that phrase in the bulletin). I'd also have a class comparing and contrasting Red Dwarf and Futurama, and if there's time, another about The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Freaks and Geeks. And also...
The most efficient way to stop a small child from throwing a tantrum is to turn said child upside down and gently sway them from side to side. Kids freaking love to be upside down, and they're usually stunned into happy silence long enough to choke out a few remaining sobs before a reluctant giggle. Turn them ride-side up, and they forget what they were crying about in the fist place. It's not unlike clearing an Etch-a-Sketch. For more serious tantrums, nothing beats a bear hug.
