The Chula Warship...

They're going to be selling a model of Captain Jack and the Chula warship. Not to mention Ten and the TARDIS. But not, if this picture is anything to go by, to scale.

Dear Santa, I'd like a Chula warship, please, with invisibility properties, and a Big Ben to tether it to.

Rationality...

Past and present religious atrocities have occurred not because we are evil, but because it is a fact of nature that the human species is, biologically, only partly rational. Evolution has meant that our prefrontal lobes are too small, our adrenal glands are too big, and our reproductive organs apparently designed by a committee; a recipe which, alone or in combination, is very certain to lead to some unhappiness and disorder. - Christopher Hitchens, God Is Not Great, p. 8.

Rephrased:

Funny little human brains. How do you get around in those things? - The Doctor, in Doctor Who, "The Doctor Dances" by Steven Moffat

Torchwood: the guy from the future...

I just saw this 20-second trailer for the new series of Torchwood.

I am a very, very happy fan just now.
