| | Dr. Who declares SARS defeated
7 Jul 2003 by Malcolm Drury
The battle against SARS has finally been won, a beaming but tired-looking Dr. Who announced at a press conference inside the Tardis today. Flanked by his latest companion, the perky Gro Harlem Brundtland, the Doctor said: "I have fought many battles in my lifetimes - Cybermen, Daleks, The Master, a whole host, in fact - but SARS has, without a doubt, been my toughest foe. But I'm happy to say it has finally been vanquished."
According to the Doctor, the dreaded SARS, which has been the scourge of Asia and Toronto for the past several months, was finally routed in its last bastion, Taiwan.
Asked if he could now relax, the Doctor said that he could never fully let up his guard, as the universe is full of villains and cheesy special effects, but he was going to Aldebaran 4 for a few days to rest and get the 20 billion kilometre scheduled service to the Tardis.
The Doctor added that there was no truth in a report recently released by the British government alleging that Saddam Hussein™ had linked up with a Dalek invasion force that was only 45 minutes from Earth. "That scenario was simply lifted from an old, and unused, BBC script," he explained, before disappearing in a puff of electronic sounds.
This looks good...
