"11 different doctors have played the role over the past 50 years, and each was unique, with different personalities and characteristics. But besides the physical symbols surrounding him - the Tardis, the sonic screwdriver- are there larger cues that indicate the man is in fact THE DOCTOR?"
Born in Shanghai at 11 pounds, over double the average Chinese baby’s weight, Ming’s parents were both basketball players.
In 2002 Ming came to Miami for the first time to play the Heat, and to increase attention for the game 8,000 fortune cookies were passed out!
Offensive? Apparently only to Americans who thought so because Ming said he didn’t mind and had never heard of a fortune cookie, thinking it was a strange American thing.
This event was only eclipsed by Shaquille O’Neal later saying, “Tell Yao Ming, Ching chong-yang-wah-ah-soh!”
Would you buy it? Besides potentially ruining any trace of literary creativity in the next generation, this program actually has amazing benefits!
Philip M. Parker created a computer system that writes books in about 20 minutes. He patented an algorithm that makes a formula for the book, pulls information from a plethora of sources, and then puts in into logical sense!
So far hundreds of thousands of books are attributed to Parker, yet he is not so much an author as someone who puts material together.
So far he sticks to mostly factual works, such as business catalogues and technical reports, yet he has said his next endeavor will be a romance novel!
From an early time the swords reach lengths in excess of 100 cm. The technology to produce blades of such lengths appears to have been developed in the Aegean, using alloys of copper and tin or arsenic, around 1700 BC.

Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he was an informal chronicler and a seemingly reluctant figurehead of social unrest.
In 1965, Bob Dylan said that if he ever sold out to a commercial interest, it would be "ladies garments." In 2007, he and his music appeared in a Victoria's Secret commercial.
A real man always stays truth to his words, and this man has proved that his promises are sacred. If you’d like to see the commercial, check it out at the source link!
Believe it or not, Stephen Colbert is a big fan of NASA. He is in fact a big fan, so big that he found a way for NASA to name one of their properties after him!
In 2009 Stephen Colbert won a NASA competition to have a module of the ISS named after him, but NASA opted to name it ‘Tranquility’ instead. They did, however, name a treadmill on the ISS after him. It is called the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill (C.O.L.B.E.R.T).
Since 2008 an average of about 140 unique petitions have been presented each year. Since 1988, when the number of signatures was first recorded, the petition with the greatest number of signatures was one presented on 4 December 2000 concerning taxation and beer prices, with 792,985 signatures.
There has never been a petition with so many signatures in Australia’s history ever! Australians surely knew how to unite and fight against the rise of their so loving product. I wonder how long it took them to collect so many signatures?

Both the accuser and the defendant would make speeches proposing what the penalty should be. Again, a vote was taken.
