Last Friday's episode of Doctor Who was the one with the "adipose" tablet. As I was watching it I kept thinking that I wouldn't mind at all getting cute little fat babies made out of my excess fat as long as the process didn't get set on high so it destroyed everyone.

I'm so glad that the new season of Doctor Who is now showing in the U.S.
