Over 100 previously lost episodes of Doctor Who have been discovered in Ethiopia:
A group of dedicated Doctor Who fans tracked down at least 100 long-lost episodes of the show gathering dust more than 3,000 miles away in Ethiopia.
It was feared the BBC programmes from the 1960s – featuring the first two doctors William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton – had vanished for all time after the Beeb flogged off a load of old footage.
But after months of detective work the tapes have been unearthed at the Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency.
A television insider said: “It is a triumph and fans everywhere will be thrilled."
“This is a really big deal for the BBC and is set to make them millions from the sale of the DVDs.”
Ya think?

Stop worshipping, it's time for "Special Music":
Special music to me is a big “everyone stop worshiping, it’s time for the special music” part of the service. Question: Intimate worship to the creator of the universe isn’t special enough for you? ”Ok, lame worship is over, now it’s time for the SPECIAL music!” (“special” said in a very sarcastic voice of course)
My biggest problem with special music isn’t the title though (they could call it “super happy fun exciting time” for all I care), it’s that people come to church to experience God! Or maybe they didn’t and they don’t even know that an experience with God is what they need. Either way, people are hurt and broken and an experience with God is what they need.
We have one or two hours to present God (most likely less if your church is still doing “special music”) and give people an opportunity to experience him. AND WE’RE WASTING IT WITH “SPECIAL MUSIC?” People need God! They don’t need to sit and hear Jim and sister Karen perform the bluegrass song they wrote. People can get mediocre performances anywhere in the world. What are we as a church giving them that they can’t get in the world?
