Whoops, that's what I get for blogging late at night. Typo fixed, thanks.

As for Tom Baker, the new series won't ever have as good an exchange at this one:

The Doctor : "Now drop your weapons or I'll kill him with this deadly jelly baby."
Warrior: "Kill him, then."
The Doctor: "What?"
Warrior: "Kill him, then."
The Doctor : "I don't take orders from anyone." [Eats jelly baby] "Take me to your leader."

Meanwhile, if you look on fan sites for David Tennant quotes, they're all from real life, not the show. But still, hands down, I like the new series a lot more.

"... this one manages to defeat the universe's worst foes ***without*** brains instead of brawn"

I'm assuming the "without" there is a typo? Perhaps "with"?

As for me, Tom Baker AKA curly haired guy is also my favorite... but I also have a fondness in my heart for Jon Pertwee as he was my "first" doctor... I haven't let myself get into the newer episodes. I'm addicted to too many things already. Gotta save some good series for DVD in a few years, right?

I loved Dr. Who growing up. The original. My favourite was the curly-haired guy. That show scared me (kind of like the original Battlestar did...oooh scary tin-can looking cylons, see how their lights hypnotize....)

Glad you found the source of the mystery mobile!

Wow, thanks Martina. This ending to the mystery is better than any punchline I could have written. Who knew IKEA would be alive and well in the year 5,000,000,053?

I feel like I attended a party last night and asked about the scrumptious hors devours, only to find out they were slices of McDonald's cheeseburger. Still, it's a cool mobile.

With a name like "KORALL Mobile multicolor" I wonder why it didn't turn up when I googled for "baby fish mobile."

Similar? No it looks exactly like it. I think Martina may have found your mobile!

Looks very similar to the the IKEA Korall mobile to me. I've seen it here in Australia, but it looks like it's available in the US too

It's part of a whole series of nursery items ... in case you are looking for a decorating theme for your nursery and are keen on weird looking fish objects.
