Why the world did not end: Reason Four

Reason Four: Thank The Doctor we did not eat our apples!

Okay, so truth be told, this one I've heard from someone else *coughsAlyssacoughs*. But it doesn't matter who the insignificant person was that told me this, the point is it made it on the list.

Now, for all of you who do not know the famous adage, it goes something like 'An apple a day helps keep the doctor away.' And who is the most famous doctor of all time? If you said McDreamy, you'd be wrong (although a case could be made about how his hair managed to stop the meteorite from crashing into the Earth). No, the doctor I'm referring to is BBC's The Doctor from the cult TV-Show, Doctor Who.

Ever since the reboot of the series in 2005, there has been a Christmas episode every year. Now even though the stories are different, the gist of each of the specials is that something dastardly happens on or near Christmas day, and who else should come to save the day, but The Doctor.

Clearly, there was supposed to be a giant ball of rock hurtling through space which would have collided with our planet and killed us all, or perhaps there was supposed to be some invisble flesh eating organism that would have eaten us all. Heck, as the little girl in the El Paso ad says, ¿por qué no los dos? *fanfare music*. But obviously, the real hero is The Doctor, who came in and with the help of his sonic screwdriver as well has his blue box that is bigger on the inside (once again, size does matter) and saved the day!

So what's the moral of the story? Stop eating apples because keeping The Doctor away is a bad idea. Unless your idea is to kill us all, then by all means go ahead.

Oh, and one other thing. If I die a suspicious death, then it totally was not because of the benevolent, most awesome girl called Alyssa *looks around worridly before flashing a fearful smile*
