Seriously, you consider the books to be canon? That concept hardly even applies to the series, let alone the novels. And then you've got to consider the webcasts as being canon (REG and all), and that means you've got to consider the Big Finish audios to be canon as well! It's really just easier for everyone if you don't use that word in the first place - causes waay more problems that it could possibly resolve.

This is a resolution. Confusing, but then again it contains time travel in bucket-sized quantities.

If you can quantify time travel, that is.

Valium, I shall have to look at that later. The net filter at the library doesn't seem to like Geocities at all.

Fact: Napoleon Bonaparte loved geometry. The theorem named after him, which he may well have really discovered, states that given any triangle, if you erect equilateral triangles on each side, their centres are themselves at the corners of an equilateral triangle.

Fact: Your smallest toe is vestigial.

Zeke · #48 06-07-2006, 08:25 AM

Actually, that sounds more like opinion to me. There's no perfect dividing line between vestigial and non-.

Fact: There's exactly one even perfect number for each Mersenne prime. We don't know whether there are infinitely many perfect numbers, or whether any are odd.

*shrugs* A book told me it, so I assumed it was correct. Apparently, it has been shrinking in size since we lost the ability to grasp things with our feet.

Even when they did, it was purely by accident. Blame Disney for starting the myth.

Good heavens, dear lady, your ankles are showing! For the sake of decency, cover yourself at once! :shock:

Fact: It is in fact Ireland, not the UK, that is the largest per capita consumer of tea in the world. The UK is actually the second largest consumer (for which I of course lay the blame solely on Starbucks).
