Dalek found in pond

They are coming: Dr Who Dalek found in pond - Telegraph.


"Sales executive Marc Oakland was pushing a rake around the bed of the shallow pool when he found the object with its distinctive eye stalk.

The 42-year-old said: 'I'd just shifted a tree branch with my foot when I noticed something dark and round slowly coming up to the surface.

'I got the shock of my life when a Dalek head bobbed up right in front of me."

If that had happened to me, I think I would have lost control of my bowels. I would have, pardon my french, SHIT myself. Messed my britches. Went whoop in my shorts. [Feel free to mentally add any folksy euphemisms of your own here.]

I can think of few things that would frighten me more than what appeared to be a Dalek rising out of the water in front of me in real life. I am not joking. They are terrifying enough on the TV.

(Shudder.)
