Propeller on a Stick
If you want a full helicopter, Dick has talked about the PicooZ Helicopter before (Episode 204), or you can get the Dragonfly that Leo mentions. For something simpler, try looking for the retro toy propeller on a stick, or make one yourself - with full instructions on sci-toys.com.
Learning English on Audible
Paul Griswold, who's visited Dick at his office at MAD, has found another use for Audible. Paul has a Japanese wife, who finds listening to Audible books, along with the book itself borrowed from the library, a great way of learning English.
Bat Boy The Musical
Bat Boy was a fictional creature featured in the old tabloid Weekly World News, and made his way into an off-Broadway musical, learning English by watching Masterpiece Theatre (originally hosted by the late Alistair Cooke, now by Laura Linney). There's even a recording on CD of the musical by the original cast.
