Your job is now your Time Lord name. The last digit of your phone number is the current regeneration you are in. The nearest clothing item to your right is now the most notable item in your current wardrobe. The last person you texted is your current companion. Your favourite word is now your catchphrase.
So I suppose I’m The Biographer, and I’m on my third regeneration. I seem to wear fleecy pajamas a lot, and I spend my time with a nerdy, music loving coder who has a passion for conspiracies and secret societies.
ETA: …how do you make “defenestration” into a catchphrase, anyway?

No idea who made this, but it is awesome.

So while y’all are writing the great American (or Canadian, or English, etc) novel, I am busy grinding reputation for my Wintersaber Trainers mount in Warcraft. It’s one of the longest, most boring grinds I’ve found so far, and it’s going away in December, so I’ve got to finish it soon… I’m 26,450 points away from finishing, and at 850 points per circuit, which takes about 15 minutes, I’ll need 32 more circuits, so hey, only eight more hours! FML.
My reward will be this awesome purple tiger mount:

Arctic researchers drink the water they have leftover from glacial cores! This is quite possibly the coolest thing ever… Well, except maybe moon ice, but still. It’s the coolest thing you can find here on the planet!
If the ice is old, it will often trap air bubbles in it. Those air bubbles can contain carbon dioxide from ten thousand years ago or even a hundred thousand years ago. And when you put an ice cube of that ice in a glass of water, it pops. It has natural effervescence as those gas bubbles escape. You get a little a puff of air into your nostrils if you have your nose over the glass. It’s not as though it necessarily smells like anything – but when you think about the fact that the last time that anything smelled that air was a hundred thousand years ago, that’s pretty interesting.
