This isn't really humour, but rather than starting another thread ...

Does anyone know - who was visiting the Parapsychology Library, and where was it located?

Just in case anyone was wondering, it was Doctor Who's companion Jamie (played by Frazer Hines), in the 1968 adventure "The Wheel in Space".

I had gotten a strong Doctor Who vibe but had no idea as to character/episode.

More like scary funny. Like "Hey, you'll be safe, you're with the trainer".

Just riding the subway with my fox...

Just a Woman with a Live Fox on Her Shoulder Waiting for the Subway Train in Moscow
By Spooky on November 19th, 2018

Here is something you don’t see every day – a woman casually waiting for the subway train in Moscow with a full-grown pet fox perched on her shoulder.

A video of the unnamed blonde woman and her unusual pet has been doing the rounds on Russian social media for a week. Its origin is currently unknown, but it went viral after it was uploaded on Instagram by Russian fitness trainer @valerasupertrener. Footage shows a young blonde woman holding the leash of an adult fox perched precariously on her shoulder, as they both wait for the train in a Moscow subway station. The animal doesn’t seem particularly concerned about either the other subway riders staring at it, or the train as it storms into the station, which suggests that this is not its first train ride. As the doors open, the woman steps inside while trying to keep her back straight as not to affect the fox’s balance.
