Are You My Mummy?


Okay, a failed Dr. Who reference, but I love this pic.

I found this on Digg.com. Here's the info:

Defense drills at Leningrad, 1937. Bulla's photograph of hundreds of children wearing gas masks was not meant to be ghoulish, a commentary on war or lost innocence, but rather exemplified a reason for pride--the country was blessed with well-trained, well-equipped and obviously courageous young fighters.

So creepy and beautiful...yes, I'm a freak.

    OK V, DJ...

    I've watched Dr. Who since I was knee high to the grapwvine and I have no idea what episode you're referring to. New series or the old series....

    This brother needs some "Enlightenment" from the Good Guardian (I'd say "White Guardian", but then you might take umbrage).

    Eccleston or Tennant?

    I kinda think I remember the episode. Is it the one where we first meet Capt Jack back in 1944?

    and from part 2 of "The Empty Child", titled "The Doctor Dances" which also introduced us to (sigh) Capt. Jack Harkness.
