Daniel smiled at the small class. "First, we're going to talk about building the Great Pyramid," he said. He lectured them, complete with slides from his own trip to Egypt.

"Now, I did consider borrowing the Danger Shop for you to see what it was like for you to build your own pyramid," he grinned, eyes twinkling. "But I figured we'd stick with the BBC again this week, and their virtual pyramid builder.

Blair bounced and yanked out a soggy notebook. "First off, whatever it is knows the trigger word in several languages. Secondly, it doesn't seem to be exhaustable. And..." He leaned closer. "It knows if you're using an umbrella and it waits till you've moved it before soaking you."

"I've got my theories as to who's behind it."

Blair leaned in even closer. "Think about it. Who would want us to not mention something healthy and free for drinking? Who would want us to instead ask for soda? Or coffee?"
