    I like the praying mantis but, good gravy, could they have made the motor and mechanics ANY LOUDER?


    That would drive me buggy within seconds; I'd want it to bite MY head off just to put me out of my misery.

    What a ghastly update for the GNK. I'll bet it doesn't even generate that much power. Fail.

    ok seeing a Dalek surfacing infront of me would result in screaming, running and brown trousers...

    I'm going to test my Nerd-Fu and say it was from filming the Jon Pertwee era serial, "Day of The Daleks".

    @deanbmmv: Well they said 80's but where's the proof?


    Anyhoo, if it was during that time then it would make it possibly one of the following:


    Resurrection of the Daleks, Revelation of the Daleks or Remembrance of the Daleks..

    I am starting to think that the series is really a news feed, and that the BBC is part of a giant cover-up.

    Maybe if they carbon date it, it will be from the future...

    @CrispyAardvark: That always bothered me. Because you can't carbon date something from the future. It would always give you a reading of 'it's _____ years old'.


    Terror from the Year 3000 my ass.

    @YourTechSupport: In my limited understanding, carbon dating dates organic matter from the objects timeline, based on the amount of time that has passed since the carbon in question was incorporated into the organic material. It's based, I think, on the predilection, sorta, for organic matter to utilize certain carbon isotopes and not others based on their atomic weights. So by determining the ratio of certain isotopes to others you can get an idea of how long it's been since that chemical 'selection' process took place.


    So, an item from 500 years in the future, that had traveled 3000 years into the past would still look 300 years old, based on the objects timeline.


    I think that's right, but I didn't look it up.

    That last 300 should be a 3000.

    @Mr.Hill:
    WRONG... If the item remained in the time line from 3000 years in the past until today...
    I would have the 3000 + the item's own age.
    Because the item's carbon would have decayed prior-to time travel.


    If you are 30 yrs old now and you travel back 20 yrs but cannot return, you could eventually meet your 30 yr old self when you are 50.
    But then again, you could get the time paradox, space-time continuum, everything implodes into a black hole kind of a problem....
