Speaking of The Doctor....


Today while driving to work I spied a novelty license plate that read: TARDIS1



Yeah, I geeked out a little. For my readers who don't have the patience to read the horrendously long, long, long Doctor Who recaps, let me 'splain. The TARDIS looks like a 1960s British police call box.

TARDIS stands for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. The TARDIS belongs to the Doctor, who is an alien. He uses it as his spaceship.

Some fun facts about the TARDIS:
  • It is alive.
  • It is bigger on the inside.
  • Did I also mention it travels in time?
Anyway, back to the license plate. This car I saw with the TARDIS1 license plate, it was a Toyota Prius (bigger on the inside), but it was the wrong color. It was black. To live up to his license plate this owner must get it painted TARDIS blue.

My car, a Honda Civic, happens to be TARDIS blue. (In fact, the color is called "Atomic Blue." Are the guys at Honda Doctor Who fans?) Thanks to Honda engineering it, at times, feels bigger on the inside. So all I need is that license plate.......and time travel capability.
