Teaching English to Preschoolers with iPhones
We (i.e. the creators of Pain in The English) developed a series of iPhone apps to teach preschool kids how to recognize letters and words. (My wife developed the characters and I did the coding.) Our own 4-year old daughter has been enjoying them. They are now available on Apple's App Store. You can search for "bitskis" on your iPhone, or visit the official website at bitskis.com.
If you have kids and own an iPhone, please check it out. It's $2.
Plastic explosive. I’m 99.9% certain this is what’s meant in the song.

according to bartleby the name comes from Semt (the czech village in which it is principally manufactured) and EXplosive. <scratches chin>
ahem, sorry, the village is called semtin
it’s an explosive which has no odour and hence is very difficult to detect by them sniffing dogs and is not principally made in the czech village where it derives it’s name but solely made there and no where else. it seemingly the main emploier of the village. I’ve heard talk that a smell is being added due to the terror able climate we live in at the moment
