  12. Gnome
    A `gnome` is a creature characterized by its extremely small size and subterranean free lifestyle. The word `gnome` is derived from the New Latin `gnomus`. It is often claimed to descend from the Greek `gnosis`, `knowledge`, but more likely comes from `genomos` `earth-dweller`, in which case the omission of `e` is, as the OED calls it, a blunder.

This day in history:
At sixteen minutes past five on 23rd November 1963, a British television institution was born. Doctor Who would go on to become the longest-running science-fiction programme in the world, eventually spawning twenty six seasons of adventures from 1963 to 1989. In total, eight actors have played the part of Gallifrey's most famous Time Lord. From the very first - William Hartnell in 1963 - to the very last - Paul McGann, in the 1996 TV Movie - the Doctor has wandered through time and space in his trusty time machine, an old type-40 TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space).
