Did Isambard Kingdom Brunel ever keep bees?

Did you hear about the Bee keeper who lived in the town of Effen in France. His biggest Bee was a big Effen Bee.

Brunel did keep bees. They provided him with honey for his breakfast toast, as Brunel invented sliced bread to fit into his newly invented toaster.

It is a little known fact that Brunel also kept pandas and manatees.

I, too, keep one bee. I put it at the end of my name, to distinguish me from plain Iain (pIain?) who got there before me.

The main thing he kept was......

inventing things!

boom boom (no, I don't think he invented 14th century Italian explosions; I just thought they would come in handy at this juncture - juncture 47 on the M999)

How to do the "bee's knees" step in the Charleston:


Step 1
Bend forward slightly, widen your legs and bend your knees.


Step 2
Put your right hand on your right knee and your left left hand on your left knee.

Step 3
Pull your knees together and quickly switch your hands. Put the right hand on the left knee and vice versa, crossing your hands. As your legs widen, note that your hands will be crossed.

Step 4
Bring your knees back in together and switch your hands back to the original position and open your knees.

Step 5
The faster you can do this move, the better it looks.

They all dance like that in South Carolina.

Ask Morse.

He used to keep bees, but he traded his hive in for a Bob Ross fanbrush.
