do you ever just remember that when Rory first met a Dalek
he tried to help it
like he didn’t immediately assume it would be evil or try to shoot him
he just tried to help it
and give it back it’s eggs
THERE ARE LITTLE CENTURIONS ON THE LUCH BOX
Rory, one of the most underrated companions ever to team with The Doctor. Rory you could say was the (ro)man!
April 19, 1995, 8:57 A.M.: A lobby security camera at an apartment complex in downtown Oklahoma City captures a yellow Ryder truck headed toward the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
April 19, 1995, 9:00 A.M.: The Ryder truck is parked in a drop-off zone in front of the north side of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The driver exits the vehicle and locks it. The keys to the vehicle are dropped a few blocks away by the driver.
April 19, 1995, 9:02 A.M.: The Ryder truck, packed in excess of 4,800 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, nitromethane, and diesel fuel mixture, detonates. One-third of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building is destroyed, the explosion of the truck leaves a crater 30 feet wide and 8 feet deep where it was parked, 324 buildings within a 16-block radius are destroyed or badly damaged, and glass is shattered in 258 nearby buildings. The effects of the blast were equivalent to over 5,000 pounds (2,300 kilograms) of TNT. It was heard and felt up to 55 miles (89 kilometers) away. A Seismometer at Science Museum Oklahoma, 4.3 miles (6.9 kilometers) away, and a Seismometer in Norman, Oklahoma, 16.1 miles (25.9 kilometers) away, both recorded the blast as measuring approximately 3.0 on the Richter scale. The explosion caused an estimated $652 million in damage, left several hundred people homeless, and shut down many businesses in downtown Oklahoma City. 680 people were injured. 168 lives, 19 of which were children under the age of 6, were taken.
Today, April 19, 2013, is the 18th anniversary of the bombing in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin released the following statement:
“On this day 18 years ago, our city was forever changed when 168 lives were taken from us in the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building. Today, we remember those who were lost, and offer support to the survivors and families left behind. We also honor the heroic efforts of the emergency responders, firefighters, and law enforcement personnel who worked tirelessly to recover survivors.
In the days after the bombing, our city came together in a display of strength, unity and resiliency that would later become known as the ‘Oklahoma standard.’ That same spirit has allowed our city to overcome this tragedy and emerge stronger than ever.
Our hearts are also burdened today as we grieve for the victims of the bombing attacks in Boston. Oklahoma City knows all too well the pain Boston is experiencing, and we continue to offer our prayers for the victims and their families. Oklahomans — just like all Americans — are a resilient and tough people. We have full confidence that our friends in Boston will emerge from this terrible tragedy stronger.”

In recent years, biologists have recognized that birds engage in play. Juvenile Common Ravens are among the most playful of bird species. They have been observed to slide down snowbanks, apparently purely for fun. They even engage in games with other species, such as playing catch-me-if-you-can with wolves, otters and dogs.[77] Common Ravens are known for spectacular aerobatic displays, such as flying in loops or interlocking talons with each other in flight.[78][79]
They are also one of only a few wild animals who make their own toys. They have been observed breaking off twigs to play with socially.
