Big Piece Of Poop Withdraws From Mayoral Race

VICTORIA, British Columbia -- Mr. Floatie, a community activist who dresses up in a feces costume to decry the pumping of raw sewage into the waters off British Columbia's capital, has withdrawn his name as a candidate for mayor.

The city had planned to challenge Mr. Floatie's candidacy in court.

James Skwarok, the man inside the costume, said the city apparently took issue with his candidacy because only real people can run for municipal office.

"Of course I'm not a real person," Skwarok said earlier this week. "I'm a big piece of poop."

Skwarok was not available for further comment.

Robot dog K9 will be reunited with Doctor Who in the new series after 24 years, say the show’s producers.

K9, who helped Tom Baker’s Time Lord between 1977 and 1981, will join new Doctor David Tennant for one episode.

The show, to be screened on BBC One next spring, sees the team investigate sinister events at a modern-day school.

It will co-star Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor Anthony Head and Elisabeth Sladen, who is returning as 1970s Doctor’s assistant Sarah Jane Smith.



Producer Phil Collinson said it was “great” to be welcoming back K9.

“A whole generation fondly remember him as an ever faithful companion and best friend to Tom Baker’s Doctor,” he said.

“I hope the new generation of viewers will fall in love with him in the same way.”

Sarah Jane and K9 appeared together in the one-off K9 & Co (1981) and the anniversary special The Five Doctors (1983).
