Gems in the Rough

The best links, sites, videos, and things you should see from this past week.

• How to start watching Doctor Who
  I recently started watching this show and absolutely love it. It's a little over the top at point, but you just have to "go with it". It's funny, suspenseful, and incredibly entertaining. Not everyone's style, understandably, but I love it. Give it a try. You might like it too.
• "Bad Lip Reading" of Edward and Bella
  So. Funny.
• Eight Amazing Paralympics Moments You've Probably Missed
• What restaurants know about you

Tweet of the Week

If the FedEx and UPS guys showed up simultaneously, what would they do? An eyebrow raising acknowledgement or a threatening furrowed glance?
