jc79 writes "David McCandless of InformationIsBeautiful.net has created a crowdsourced dataset of every time travel journey the Doctor made in every episode of the series since 1963. Who wants to visualise it?" Previous efforts have resulted in this amazing visualization of time travel intersecting Bill & Ted, Back to the Future, Time Bandits, Buck Rogers, Planet of the Apes and many more.

Need larger pipes on the inside than the outside by BSAtHome · 2010-08-23 04:29 · Score: 3, Funny

A convergence in the time-space continuum has resulted in clogged internet pipes. The pipes should be bigger on the inside than the outside.

It's not a crowdsourced dataset, it's more of a big timey-wimey ball.

In the name of the late Senator Ted Stevens...
Hmmm... you know, I've never seen Ted Stevens and Davros in the same place at the same time. Coincidence, or something more sinister?

Yeah, it is, but it takes a lot less time to type than "crossing my fingers and hoping other people will do the work I'm too lazy to do myself".
This could be huge... by Anonymous Coward · 2010-08-23 05:04 · Score: 1, Funny

Forget geek cruises, conventions, LARPs, and every other means to the imaginative potential of a herd of geeks. Reenaction of any show (not just DW) in the db, with scavenger hunts and puzzle solving analogous to that episode(e.g. building a simple radio or solving a scientific problem), with interludes of discussion sessions on real-world or philosophical ideas in the episode. Teams could be made based on different skills, and organizers could cherrypick the stories that provoke the most discussion. As a bonus, you would be touring Paris, London, Amsterdam, and many, many quarrie^H^H^H^H^H^H^H other exciting locations.

It'd be really cool to be able to see what sort of huge events were supposed to have happened on a given date according to some TV show, movie, book, or video game.
In 2010, a joint American-Soviet crew will take the Leonov to Jupiter, in order to investigate a strange object orbiting the planet, and to ascertain what happened back in 2001 to the Discovery, whose orbit around Io is deteriorating rapidly.
