Doctor Marries Doctor's Daughter, TARDIS Explodes
techmuse writes "In a veritable Who's Who of Doctor Who, 10th Doctor David Tennant is marrying Georgia Moffett, the daughter of 5th Doctor Peter Davison, who played the Doctor's daughter in an episode of Doctor Who. Except that the Doctor's daughter was a clone of the Doctor, which meant that she really was Who. So a newer Doctor is marrying an older Doctor's daughter, who is a clone of the newer doctor, but only has half the DNA of the older Doctor."
Doctor, doctor, give me the news. I got a bad case of lovin'... who?
She's also the daughter of Trillian

Which Who is on first?

He got engaged to his co-star on Girl in a Fireplace, too. Come to think of it, another of his co-stars went off to make a TV mini-series about a BDSM call-girl. What the hell is he doing to these girls' minds?

Oh, give me a clone
Of my own flesh and bone
With the Y chromosome changed to X.
And when she is grown,
My very own clone,
We'll be of the opposite sex.
Chorus:
Clone, clone of my own,
With the Y chromosome changed to X.
And when we're alone,
Since her mind is my own,
She'll be thinking of nothing but sex.
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.

I think the misspelled "head", and I'm sure they misspelled "asplode".

The Universe already exploded, but the Doctor flew the Pandorica into the exploding Tardis so that the universe would be healed.

A million fangirls who only ever would have been million fangirls-1 that were still dissappointed if Tennant had chosen 1 of them.
Of course the conventional wisdom would seem to say Clone Tennant and the fangirls can all be happy, unfortunately they DID clone Tennant, and now he's run off with the clone.
Q: So when David Tennant goes to get his paycheck, Who gets the money?
A: Every dollar of it. After all, the man earns it.
Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
Why isn't this in Idle?
Okay normally I would agree 100%... but I've never seen a story on Slashdot that better qualifies as 'News for Nerds', and I was here for the Lone Gunmen fiasco.

OK, skip all the crazy stuff, just answer me this:
Who is marrying who?
So, who is marrying who?
Yes.

People assume that relationships are a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... love-y wimey... stuff.
Dude, where's my packet?
The actor who played the previous Dr is marrying his onscreen daughter which is actually the IRL daughter of the actor that played the 5th Dr.

It isn't incest of the relation is a fictional one between your characters.
I learned that in middle school, 9 years ago. (the students playing a father/daughter pair in that year's school play were kissing; that was their response to my needling)
I'm not a Doctor Who fan, so I can't squeeze in (or recognize) your references. :)
I listen to both RIAA and non-RIAA stuff if I like the music, tangential business/politics nonwithstanding.
actually..
that actor who played the previous doctor, is marrying his onscreen daughter, who is a clone of the doctor, IRL she is also the daughter of an actor who played a previous, previous doctor.
so the doctor, married his daughter, also the doctor, and she's the daughter of another doctor, and the doctor's daughter, THIRD BASE!
You must really be popular at parties when you over-analyze every joke told...
One form of "nerd humor" is to respond to a joke as if it's straight and analyze it deeper until something else funny shows up. (It's similar to "deadpan humor".)
And you may be a redneck if you look forward to the upcoming family reunion because it's a great place to meet girls.
Ha ha. But...
You should be aware that "Redneck" is a racist (implies mixed American Indian and colonist ancestry) and culturalist epithet (coastal urban self-appointed elites looking down on other US cultural groups), on a par with "The N word" or other racial/cultural epithet of your choice.
And given that a major fraction of, for instance, rocket scientists (and other technologists) are Rednecks, you might want to think as carefully before posting such jokes to Slashdot as you would before performing George Carlin's "nigger nigger nigger" bit to an audience in Harlem.

And as a clone, the female would have two copies of the original X chromosome (making XX), i.e. half of the original DNA (XY).
No, that's just wrong.
A clone of male that was engineered to replace the Y sex chromosome with an duplicate of the X would have much more than half the DNA of the original male. The sex chromosome pair is one of 23 chromosome pairs, and the Y chromosome itself has less DNA than the X chromosome. So, the XY -> XX switch would preserve more than half of the DNA of the sex chromosome pair, which is itself only a small fraction of the DNA of the entire set of chromosomes.
Obviously you would swap the lines, and probably rework "empty beer cans and all".
But it's a fucking copy-pasta troll - I'm not going to do their homework for them.
i'll take the latter please...
This is nothing more than celebrity gossip. If such things are ok for shows that we like, then geeks are no better than the unwashed masses we so love to denigrate. Course, I believe that's always been the case.
Atcually, that's something socially awkward nerds sometimes mistake for humor. Really, it's not.
Humor is subjective, so positing what purports on its face to be a factual, objective statement that someone else is wrong about what is and is not humorous is kind of pointless.
On Vulcan, humor is largely considered irrelevant to our intellectual pursuits. However, there are segments of our population which do enjoy Vulcan humor, and as such there are a certain number of comedy clubs to be found. One of the more popular forms of Vulcan comedy is to posit an elaborate hypothesis containing a small logical flaw; but to proceed ahead with the hypothesis while attempting to provide arguments and calculations supporting the hypothesis which, to a careless mind, would appear sound. The hypothesis is then carried forward to its naturally absurd conclusions. I once attended such a performance: I found it rather whimsical.
Bow-ties are cool.
What would I have gotten had I liked Dr. Who? ... And I believe I'll continue to remain ignorant on this topic. But thanks for trying to enlighten me.
The sad thing is that it took you this long to ask the right question to cure you of your ignorance, then you said you didn't want to de-ignorantify yourself. I don't really get this. I mean, you're confused about something, so instead of asking questions about it, you'd rather whinge about it then defend your decision to remain ignorant. Why is this? Are you trying to look smart? Is it because you think the original point should be defended and you don't want to take the time to consider that maybe you joined the wrong side of it? Am I just way off the mark, here?
I didn't care when I learned two actors in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (Alexander Siddig and Nana Visitor) were married.
That also story didn't (and wouldn't have) make it to Slashdot.
