So you have a Dalek on your holiday gift list, but what to get the genetically mutated Universe-dominating alien?
Why, a crocheted cozy, of course. The link goes to a free pattern you can use.
Space is very cold, and you could catch your death out there.
Tip o’ the needle to BABloggee Mandy Qualls.

BTW. Phil not to ruin a good funny thread with dour science but your equation of space = cold is bad astronomy isn’t it? Space has no temperature at all, its just vacuum – some parts like that around a bright star would actually be incredibly hot, others like the (okay much larger ) space far between any brightstars are well pretty fosh-durned cold. Yes?

Bad news no. 1 – Daleks are real!
Wosre news no. 2 – Daleks are related to me
