Eerily Similar

Back in the day, the family used to gather around the old 13" to watch episodes of the classic BBC series, Dr. Who. Far better than anything PBS had/has, the Doctor travels though time in his time machine, the Tardis, solving the injustices of the universe. The Doctor can, as all good Time Lords, regenerate himself from the state of near death, and has done so 9 times thus far for a total of 10 different incarnations.

The point of my story: I was recently pushing around a tank of liquid nitrogen at work, which we use to cool several instruments that produce a lot of heat. It's big, metal, and shiny, and is really difficult to work with.

As I was pushing it along, I couldn't help but notice its eery resemblance of a creepy critter on Dr. Who, a Dalek. Daleks were the mechanical armor worn by little mutant villains from the planet Skaro. They apparently are credited for giving the show its great popularity in its second season.

After you get done "gasping" at the shocking similarity, I'll just say they look much more alike in real life. Just play along.
