Now we know why. He must have been a monkey in one regeneration, with a matching TARDIS. Oh wait, he must have been a monkey who merged with the TARDIS at some point. Maybe I missed an episode.
Tardis Sock Monkey
The TARDIS sock monkey was made by kwiltykate on Craftster. Obviously she was just monkeying around when she created it. I imagine that the Time Lords have simply de-volved and are now called Time Simians. They preside over time and space in much the same way that apes came to rule the Earth in Planet of the Apes.

Hey, why wasn’t there a Doctor Who movie featuring Charlton Heston? “Take your stinking paws off my TARDIS, you damned dirty ape!”

I used Vulcan math to calculate Spock Monkey’s constitution.

Each Spock Monkey is lovingly handmade, so each of them is unique. Some are uglier than the others. There’s also a Captain Kirk Sock Monkey. No monkey McCoy though.

Each Spock Monkey (or Capt. Kirk Sock Monkey) sells for $46 (USD) at Cottage Linen. Don’t feel bad about separating the Spock Monkeys from each other, because they’re all adventurers, seeking new frontiers. Every Spock Monkey is also sent off with one hell of a going-away party. Seriously, check out the party. It’ll make your day.

If you thought you’d]]> Zack Snyder’s take on Watchmen may have suffered mixed reviews from fans and newbies alike at the box office, but Alan Moore’s seminal characters are certainly scoring big with one subset of the population: crafty types are embracing Watchmen‘s heroes anew… and in interesting ways. If you thought you’d never see a Dr. Manhattan sock monkey, well, you were wrong.

Dr. Monkhattan, as this version happens to be named, is from the wearing-black-man-panties stage of the superman’s development, so there’s no issue of bright blue sock monkey genitals to be addressed.

Crafty Crafty has a round-up of some of the more unique and interesting examples of crafters’ takes on Watchmen, including a Hello Kitty/Rorshach mashup flash drive that can go toe-to-toe on the randomness scale with Dr. Monkhattan any day.
