"We're going to play U2!" Krisprolls couldn't wait.

"Excellent!" said Sedri. "Set it up over there past the food tables and we'll try and find some non-leathal sticks for people to hit it with."

Agent Sedri gleefully begins punching buttons on her snitched portal generator.

A blue glow fills the room, vanishing a few moments later. Sedri reappears with a massive, and obviously very expensive CD player.

"Where did you get that?"

Not quite meeting Maudlin's eyes, Sedri replied, "Er... a Word World... Does it matter?"

Agent Sedri paused in her decorating to eye the pumpkin. Her brow furrowed, and she approached it hesitantly, carving knife in hand.

"All right, you," she said. "Are you here as a guest or as dinner?"

Unless there are canonical hybrids, then no, they're not going to be able to reproduce.

For a start, the one thing everyone knows about Gallifreyans is they have two hearts, right? Humans have one. Anyone want to work out how the maternal-to-foetal bloodflow issue is going to work?

'Selaface, 'genetically similar enough to produce offspring' is actually one definition of a species. So, uh, for that to work, Humans and Gallifreyans would actually have to be the same species. Because they are two different species, ergo they are NOT genetically similar enough to produce offspring.

"Krisprolls is going to eat it all at once."
"Like he wouldn't. There ain't got no hope for us."
"YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"

I also worship the band and believe Bono, especially when he talks about Edge (including the stuff about him being basically a Vulcan from the future). But I don't mind mocking the bandmembers from time to time. Especially Bono.
And Larry is 2cm shorter than Bono.
Well, nice to meet a fellow fan. I love these guys and their music. It's totally awesome. Especially what Edge does.

As a matter of principle, I am not okay with this.

Because I am one of those wacky fans who has no sense of humor and hero-worships the entire band believes every word out of Bono's mouth almost without question.

(Besides, the shortest guy should -always- be Bono. He just has to wear platform boots. Geez, man, pay attention!)

(I'm in a bit of a Harry Potter fan craze, so that might explain the costumes, I hope.)

Eesa and Sive strolled into the party. Sive was dressed as the female Draco Malfoy from "A Very Potter Musical" and Eesa had decided to go as Bellatrix Lestrange. Together, they held a life-size Mary Sue piñata filled with candy.

"We thought a party couldn't be complete without a piñata, so we brought one instead of alcohol," explained Sive simply.

Everybody could hear the fake Bono yelling. What' and South couldn't help laughing.
"Sorry, we left our beloved Vulcan at home and he's the only one who can make that guy stop," said 'Adam'.

Anything that reminds one of that travesty of a "romance" series SHOULD be nuked. Just to save us all having post-traumatic flashbacks. -_-;

FWIW, neither polygamy nor combining parents' names is really a Mormon thing. Possibly you're thinking of some of the spinoff churches?

Maudlin, being silly, runs through the door and shouts, "And I'm all out of bubble gum! Er... I brought Nightmare Revisited! Who's got a CD player?"

In the Real World? Nope, it's extremely unlikely. See Darwin's Origin of Species for a much more in-depth discussion of why hybrid animals tend to be sterile.

In a sci-fi canon, however, it depends. If we're talking, say, Star Trek, then hybrids are possible even when it makes my brain hurt (eg Vulcan copper-based blood not causing any problems with Human blood). If it's a sci-fi continuum with no hybrids, then it'd be a no. I'm trying to think if there are any hybrids in Doctor Who canon, and drawing a blank.

Mind you, I suppose there was that woman and that cat in Gridlock. But I'd rather not touch the biology of that one with a ten foot pole because it makes my inner biologist cry.

A pumpkin waddles into the room, stopping every now and then as if resting its tired legs. Small flippers can be seen beneath its orange bulk when it stands, and the top opens occasionally to reveal a black and white head poking a beak out of the seemingly hollow shelter.

Of course this is all nonsense. Pumpkins don't move. And penguins most definitely wouldn't hide in them. With this in mind, why are you even imagining this? You must be insane.

Humans and Gallifreyans could be genetically similar enough to produce offspring, but if you go by RW biology, they'd be as fertile as a mule or a liger, i.e. not at all.

"Hey, hope we're not screwing the party by just being there," said Krisprolls
What' laughed. "Well, it only works during our birthdays. So, what do you want to dress up in?"
"U2!!!" said Krisp. "I'm Bono!"
"Well, I ain't tall enough to be no other than Larry, so that means there won't be no Adam," said South.
"What, does that mean you want me to be The Edge? I'm not Vulcan enough."
"So you're telling us you agree with those whacky fans who completely believe Bono's bullshit? Oh, don't worry, I do too. By the way, you can be Adam, and we'll tell the other people in the room our dear Vulcan is WORKING RIGHT NOW FOR FECK'S SAKE. DAMN VULCAN." Krisp was now completely involved in his role.
Five minutes later, Bono, Adam and Larry entered the party room.
"HELLO HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" said Krisp.

of species (from wikipedia): "a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring of both genders" Or as I remember from my biology lesson: different species don't interbreed and produce fertile offspring (mules, and such).

So, unless Gallifreyans are a human race (and not a different species) the Doctor could get it on with Sarah Jane's cousin, they could possibly have biological offspring, but those kids would be sterile.

On the other hand, scifi likes to ignore this definition of species and create multibrids all over the place (remember half-Klingon B'Elanna who had a baby?)

In one of the Doctor novels the Doctor was said to have a human mother. If you take that as canon, then canon further implies that the Doctor can have off-spring and isn't sterile.

Agents, Boarders, Flowers, and Random Persons welcome. Bring bleeprin, bleepolate, bleepka, and any non-bleep confections or alcohol that interests you. In true PPC style, anyone dressing up as a Mary Sue will be shot.

*starts abusing the use of her RC portal generator to snitch appropriate decorations and theme-setting Creepy Items from various continua*

Could the Doctor and a Human have viable offspring? One Sue seems to be the Doctor's daughter by the other, Sarah Jane's cousin.

I know the novelization of The Five Doctors mentions David and Susan having children, but I don't know if that's canon. Besides, they could just be adopted.

Forgive the emoticon, but that's all I can say. I dunno, though. There's plenty of people who think that Ebony/Enoby Dark'Ness Dementia Raven/Tara Way isn't a troll. I think she is, but...
