a clock joke emailed to me to remind me to change my clocks.
Donald Rumsfeld died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St.Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?"
St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."
"Oh," said Rumsfeld, "Whose clock is that?" "That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."
"Incredible," said Rumsfeld. "And whose clock is that one?" St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."
Where's Bush's clock?" asked Rumsfeld. "Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."
Where's Bush's clock?" asked Rumsfeld. "Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."
Yeah, with John Howard's waiting nearby as a backup.

COME ONE COME ALL TO THE 2004 FACE TO FACE
In the F2F thread we are wrapping up the discussion on where next years gathering will be. The vote will be Friday.
At the moment we are pretty much between Baltimore/DC and Montreal. Please come and join the discussion!
Did I already post the link to this collection of Dr. Who related music?
As a tangent to that, there's a DJ Sutekh (Seth Horvitz) whose name I'm pretty sure is taken from the "Pyramids of Mars" Dr Who episode.

I remember Pyramids of Mars being one of the scariest (and also trippiest) Tom Baker stories.

Possible, but Sutekh is a long-standing alternative name for the Egyptian god Set. It need not have gone through Dr Who.

It was a good one. I loved all the Egyptian touches, and it also had the Doctor showing no compassion for a murdered man, and a trip forward in time to reveal the dead world Earth would become if they didn't intervene.
My favourite adventure from that season (and for a long time my fave of all time), however, was
Seeds of Doom.
Which I didn't catch when the local public TV station played it last year, as they stuffed around with the scheduled time.
ETA: this site suggests that high regards for
The Pyramids of Mars
is a pretty widely held view.
