TARDIS
The time machine utilized by the Doctor
in the BBC cult television series Dr. Who. TARDIS is an acronym for "Time
and Relative Dimensions in Space." The Doctor's rather unreliable type 40
TARDIS appears as a blue 1950s-style police box – but only because
the chameleon circuit that allows the TARDIS to appear in any form got jammed
on Earth in 1963. The internal size of the TARDIS bears no resemblance to
its external dimensions. In fact, the TARDIS contains libraries, gardens,
swimming pools, and even a cricket pavilion, plus two control rooms, a boot
cupboard, a very large costume wardrobe and a pink Zero Room.
