Dr. Who's Sonic Screwdriver Exists
Phoghat writes "Television's favourite Time Lord could not exist without his trusty sonic screwdriver, as it's proved priceless in defeating Daleks and keeping the Tardis in check. Now Doctor Who's famous cure-all gadget could become a reality for DIY-ers across the world, say engineers. Ultrasonic engineers at Bristol University and The Big Bang: UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair are uncovering how a real life version of the fictional screwdriver — which uses sonic technology to open locks and undo screws — could be created."
So will this thing allow me to pick up hot chick too, just like the Doctor?
Like The Master, I want a laser screwdriver. Who'd have sonic?
Write Only Memory: Another pointless blog.
The lib/con coalition government did a cost/benefit analysis as part of their spending review. Whilst I don't have a source to hand, IIRC it came down to a simple decision in the end. On one hand you could invest billions in military hardware to save cardiff from an alien invasion. On the other hand, you could simply erect some signs pointing out the direction of Swansea. When it went to a vote in the house of commons, no one could find fault in the second option.....
If only we knew how fast and in which direction it was travelling...
Then we'd no longer know its position.
We keep doing TARD over and over again. Every time I look, society is reTARDed.
