natequarter : The Doctor invites a man on board the TARDIS. The Doctor says, “So, what would you like to see first? The Skaro Museum? 1990s Scotland? Ooh! I know! We could go see Pagliacci!” Man says, “But Doctor,” #does anyone mind explaining the joke? the meme i’m referencing goes something like this: “Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s…

never ever say “well surely no one would do this deranged thing!” when “this would be a deranged thing to do” will suffice. “surely no one would learn aramaic and hebrew just in order to attack the talmud, a dense legalistic text which requires years of study to make sense of!” you might be saying to yourself. but a german guy who was an all-round deranged cunt…

tardis-technician : Girl who makes everything about doctor who: so there’s actually a doctor who episode about this
