THE UNSTOPPable rise of the daleks
Before Daleks got fizzy nozzles, they had to make
do with a small clasp on the front of their chassis. When approaching
their enemies, they would release this clasp. Unfortunately, the
doors fell naturally to, so the Dalek would have to move backwards
abruptly to make the door swing slowly open. At this stage of their
evolution, Daleks were far more prone to saying "HANG ON A
MINUTE".
The development of the Daleks can be roughly divided
into five stages :
1. Mindlessly trundling downhill.
2. Flinging selves amiably into swimming pools.
3. Rolling through shop windows and coming out with frilly undies
hanging off their manipulator arm.
4. Going after stuff, exterminating.
5. World supremacy, etc.
After Daleks took over the universe, they held
a party where it was universally agreed that the prizes in the crackers
were "sub-par".
