by steven3x October 3, 2009 4:03 PM PDT: I guess we have our response to the Lame Prize question - so I will simply say that it's a shame about the "sonic screwdriver" not being eligible as "Doctor Who" is primarily a TV series and not a film/film series. Still, it's cool that "the Guide" at least made the list... especially since we all know that towels and fish aren't gadgets. :-); Like this Reply to this comment
