So a long time ago, Eric in our church told me about this old British Science Fiction show called Doctor Who.

I managed to find a few reruns on PBC and enjoyed them after church back when I lived in Hector...

Thought it might be interesting to dig into some phrases, that I doubt people know the meaning of. 

Let’s start with: "goodbye", it turns out this phrase comes from: " God Be With You".  Nice to know this one has a great origin and a better meaning than I knew.

You might have heard about Art imitating life.  I have  some video clips that an expert in the art-world believes are a representation of modern art…

Take a look at this normal looking glass.  In fact, go grab a normal drinking glass.
