A strategy single-player RPG intended for kids aged 8-12. Poptropica was originally really good, but it became a sellout when it started having worlds based on "Choose Your Own Adventure" books and "Big Nate", an unoriginal comic strip that appears in about 5 local newspapers.
I was on Poptropica the other day. While I was swinging through the jungle, Wall-E popped up and automatically hacked into my Amazon account. A few days later, I got the DVD and the shipping and handling bill in the mail.

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
