Maybe Guinan isn't 'the Doctor' but another Time Lord...

Makes ya wonder.

Anthos, the Grey Knight, High Preist of Ganlf, God of Chaos, Horrible Puns,
                                            and Extremely Bad Form.
================================================================================
Across time and space/ The grey knight cometh/ With dragons to rape/
Madiens to slay/ Castles to sack/ Towns to pillage/ Quarterbacks to plunder

Oh, how I am confused!
