No. Not telos. Telos is the planet they eventually took over. However, they came from another planet. A clue: the sister planet of earth.

Wayfarer · 05-21-2002, 07:44 PM

Hmmm...

Forgive me. It seems that the correct answer is Mondas.

And, I can answer your bonus question:

Was it 'The Tenth Planet', with Doctor William Hartnell?

BeardofPants · 05-21-2002, 07:54 PM

Yep. You get the cigar.

Where does the phrase "It's raining cats and dogs derive from (be as specific as possible)?

Imladris · 05-27-2002, 07:46 AM

Because when it rains you always step in a poodle!

BeardofPants · 05-27-2002, 08:13 AM

Because all the cute widdle fuzzy wuzzy animals, plus also the rodent variety used to live in the straw that made up the thatch roofs of houses. When it rained, this would cause holes in the thatch, and extreme discomfort to the cute, and also fuzzy wuzzy animals, and they would either evacuate, or fall through the holes in the thatch. Hence, raining cats and dogs.
