I'm pretty sure the answer to part (a) is hyperbole, and the answer to part (b) is that it did.....
But C is 12! He will die in this version of the story!
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Timelies!!
Last day of this office job, hooray! I feel bad complaining, it's the easiest money I will ever earn in my life, but yesterday the phone rang 8 times in 9 hours.
I am on chapter 12 of the World's Longest Harry Potter Fanfiction, which is nice. I never read fanfic, really, but someone linked me this one and it's absolutely fabulous. I don't think I'll get to the end today and that makes me sad.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am confused by Burrell's sentence as well. But I read it first after waking up at 2 am, so maybe not the best time for comprehension.
I need to for everyone in the world (or at least in my workplace) to use their $#@!%$#!!!! Outlook calendars. Trying to set up a meeting is hell, between the people who do not use it at all, the people who refer all inquiries to their secretaries and have turned off the ability for anyone to view their availability, and the people who use it as a to-do list, scheduling non-time-sensitive tasks on the calendar instead of meetings. This endless calling back and forth is irritating!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Holy crow, sumi, that's one deeply creepy article. And before I read it, I could have sworn on a stack of the sacred books of every culture on the planet that I'd inhaled every single horse book ever written, but I'd never ever heard about any of this.

I could see Mal as Slytherin, maybe? But not Zoe. I'm always really bad at placing people in Hogwarts Houses. Kaylee would be Hufflepuff, yeah? And Simon Ravenclaw. That's for sure.
I feel like The Doctor could sort of be all the houses, but I'd go for Ravenclaw over Hufflepuff. Tearing down evil empires with intellect is definitely Ravenclaw.
And sumi, that article is super creepy. I.. I had no idea a horse ever could or would do that.

Each of the Doctor's regenerations could be in a different house, perhaps.

Because books.
Now I need to click on the homicidal horses link.

jz, I have always wondered what Shackleton's ponies ate. . .
I'm getting this book - want to read it when I'm done?

You don't NEED to, you know.

Perhaps. The current Doctor is a lot more Hufflepuff than his immediate predecessors, anyway. I've only seen Doctors 9 through 11, so I don't have the whole set to compare with, but you're probably right. Even though they are always the same person, the personalities do differ.
