Ok, so here is a random question for the surprisingly increasing number of people who read my weblog (but annoyingly do not leave comments… argh!): Are any of you familiar with Ultra Dot West rifle scopes? I ask this for a variety of reasons… First, I am relatively interested in …
So THAT is who the [warning, spoiler-laden link] Face of Boe [/warning, spoiler-laden link] was! Son of a monkey… I guess when you are paradoctoring paradoxes and violating just about every single Einsteinian law of reality and physics, things like that are bound to happen from time to time. That …

Its regular beeping could be heard around the world as it completed approximately 1440 96-minute orbits before falling back to Earth.
