Not all fandom forums stay that nice. Doctor Who fans can get ugly. I'm convinced that at least 50% of them secretly loathe it. It's all the old Who rulez/new Who droolz stuff. Oh! I forgot the other part... girls smell and the Doctor can't have a penis.

The Doctor has two hearts, I like to think he has two penises as well. :laugh:

I thought Eccleston and Tennant were sexy too. I just wanted to bake Matt Smith cookies. He was too young.

Every time, I am heartbroken and think I can't love the next and every time, they win me over in about half an episode.

If I had to rank them in order of general craziness I would say that parenting was craziest, Prius least crazy, and MFP and greyhounds are somewhere in the middle.

Bacterial and viral influences of insulin related sensitivity? Do dietary elements influence gut bacteria sufficiently for this to be a concern in general diet? Are allergic reactions activated by exercise stress, and if so, do they influence tissue repair? What dietary elements might influence early signs of rheumatism that I might be experiencing? How valid are the theories of habit modification and how applicable are they? Whole bunch around mTOR signaling, etc...
