Also considering that Doctor Who is pitched at a very broad audience (and is usually shown within children's programming hours) the range of subjects and adult concepts it projects to that audience is stupendous.
Actually if you see the extended QI episode (QI XL, shown a couple of days later, running half as long again), there's a sequence where Jimmy Carr is looking for something to pee in*, and somehow hands over the Einstein mask.
* The show is filmed over a 2h period and cut down to the 45 and then 30 minute shows we're familiar with. There's a new Making of QI which just aired, showing the history of the show. See filestube.com ....

Perhaps it's time to take an adult approach and stop pretending that stories are just about pleasure. If "hedonic measurement" is our yardstick for everything than bye-bye growing up. Let's all live in the infantilized zone that Hollywood, network television and Fox news would remake the world as.

Yup, spent years getting bypassed for promotion in favour of older (looking) co-workers - "we know you deserve the promotion, but they've been waiting longer ... what you're way older than them? .... no way...." [repeat].
Very similar situation for me at 47.5 - maybe it's my "gay lifestyle"
yup: I want this study run in Australia.
Where's Bender?
It's one thing learning the written grammar better than kids, but as an adult it's sure harder to distinguish all the phonemes that allow you to comprehend the spoken language.
Maybe Jason Isaacs can head down to Bon Temps and investigate why Mrs Dursley has gotten all witchy-like.

And if he'd written pneumonoultramicroscopicsilico... instead of monkey's that would also be a grammatical error because it was spelled properly.
