My dad's 65, but VERY healthy for his age. He works 3-4 nights a week still.

Yikes. My father sleeps for less than 4 hours a day (can you believe that?) and gets up at 4 or 3 am to go to his job.

Okay, a little diversion from my Doctor Who photostory....

In 2000, BBC Books (who were publishing the latest Doctor Who book adventures) made the controversial decision to have Gallifrey destroyed by the Doctor's own hand, in The Ancestor Cell. However, unlike the later Time War (mentioned in the 2005-7 series), the Daleks were not the enemy, but rather something else. However, a rogue time-travelling terrorist group called Faction Paradox (originally from Gallifrey) intended to take over Gallifrey using the Doctor as it's tool. The Doctor, nearly succumbing to an infection Faction Paradox gave him, makes a heart-wrenching decision. He deliberately destroys Gallifrey in order to save the universe from Faction Paradox, who would impose chaos upon the cosmos. He is amnesiac afterwards, but not because of the trauma of the event.....

While the BBC books are no longer considered canon with the new series, it did provide the genesis of an idea, to start the Doctor from square one....

The proper year is actually 54 AIC (After Integrated Circuit) the invention that would spark the Digital Revolution which was first made in Year Zero at Texas Instruments.

Yes, Texas of all places is responsible for the next phase in the evolution of society.

No single event has changed society so much in such a brief space of time.

The very fact you can snort at me is proof.

And good things do occasionally come from Texas.

It was first conceived of by a British scientist, Geoffrey Dummer. Jack Kilby was born in Missouri, and Robert Noyce in Iowa. See a connection? Texas Instruments may be based in Texas, but where did the talent come from?
