Oh yeah!  Dr. Who.    [smiley=clap.gif]

I'd never seen this show as I haven't had a TV much over my life until I had one for awhile about 8 years ago.  Dr. Who would come on at 11:00 or 12:00 on Sunday night on the local Public TV channel.  I was immediately sucked in and always had a hard time getting up on time on Monday morning.  I did see quite a few episodes from different eras and I started understanding that the Doctor changed form over the years.  They finally took it off the air, though.  That was disappointing.

Bill, that is quite a strange (and yes, disturbing) ad.  I've seen these chocolates, but only ones that were brought over from Germany as gifts.  They can't sell them in this country - I guess because the toys inside are "dangerous" for small children.  I think that ad is German.  I'm curious about why the announcer is speaking in English.

I won't get into the gun control debate either.  I'll just say that too many people with guns don't know how or when to use them.  My father took me and my brother out target shooting with .22's, and I took a class on gun safety.  I'm really glad I had that opportunity.  But I still don't like guns and I don't like being around them.  I went a different direction, eventually, and studied Aikido for about 5 years.  What I learned there is to be aware of what is going on around me, to pay attention to my instincts and to not be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  

If everyone had some good training of some sort, that would be good.  That would mean that they were getting a good kind of attention, which is what we all need when we are young.

Enough said.

Hi Melana,

The Kinder Egg has its own language!  Somehow my children understand it (and think it is funny). 8-)

Dr Who - My wife downloads the new ones from England using Bittorrent(?).  I haven't seen any of the new ones but I remember hiding behind a couch in Beaconsfield England in 1966 whenever the Cybermen were on the back and white screen! (second Doctor Patrick T.)
