Bizarre jumble of stuff #1

Watch out - End of Time SPOILERS in comments!

[livejournal.com profile] jvowles wrote a gorgeous thank you to the Doctor Who cast and crew.

By complete contrast, I somehow stumbled across [livejournal.com profile] m_wesley's 2007 giggle-inducing review of the The Pit.

Pakistan's hijra will now have a legally defined gender of their own.

A remarkable podcast about William Cooper, the Aboriginal activist who spoke out after Kristallnacht and has been commemorated at the Martyr's Forest memorial.

An old favourite quote of mine:

"Some physiologists will have it that the stomach is a mill; others, that it is a fermenting vat; others again that it is a stew-pan; but in my view of the matter, it is neither a mill, a fermenting vat, nor a stew-pan - but a stomach, gentlemen, a stomach."
- William Hunter, quoted in A Treatise on Diet (1824)

Indeed. "I know you have to move on and do other things despite this being your dream role, David but come on- stay in the job; we'll support you, we'll all have bake sales and send you the proceeds and give you scripts you can perform on weekends but please don't go!!"

I'm sure Matt Smith will be ace though. I just hope we get a nice young *male* companion before too long....
