Small Things Amuse Small Minds

Thing that amuses me far too much: realising that, entirely by accident, I have made my core Pokemon team into a classic Five Man Band. My current SoulSilver crew consists of ...

- The Hero, my Feraligatr. The centre of the group, has been with me since he was just a Level 5 starter Pokemon and I was a total noob.

- The Lancer, my Ampharos. She's the opposite of my Feraligatr in every way, right down to her contrasting bright yellow colour.

- The Smart Guy, my Noctowl. Relies on tricky psychic attacks and high defence in battle, and he even wears the Wise Glasses.

- The Big Guy, my Snorlax. A big fluffy teddy bear, his main tactics are eating and sleeping during battle.

- The Chick, my Ninetales, but she's definitely a subversion of the Black Magician Girl variety. She's feminine and fragile, but she will also confuse you and set your hair on fire.

And because there are six spots in a Pokemon team, I also have ...

- The Cute Bruiser, my Sandslash. She is the smallest Pokemon on the squad, she is adorable, and she gets STAB for Earthquake. You are so dead.

This Is Why I Love Doctor Who ..,

When you update a page on the Doctor Who wiki, it asks you if you are able to add to other articles. Since it gives you a random selection of three, the combinations can end up looking pretty odd. I was just now asked if I knew anything about vampires, bacon or the Human-Draconian war. How many wikis about a single fictional universe can claim to require entries concerning mythological undead creatures, common foodstuffs and interplanetary conflicts? Truly, my fandom contains multitudes. (Also, Babylon 5 fans may find something amusing in that last article.)

I'm afraid I don't know anything useful about any of those things, though. I have just been anonymously updating bibliographies. Did you know that Simon Guerrier had written seventeen Doctor Who short stories and none of them were properly linked from his author page?

Yeah, there is probably a reason I should not be allowed to get sucked into editing wikis ...
