    Things we've learned from Stargate....

    Compiled from Facebook -- feel free to add........starting just shy of 200....

    1. There isn't any situation that doesn't call for a good "Indeed."

    2. All the best bad guys are over-dressed blowhards with over-inflated egos.

    3. A little humor goes a long way.

    4. There's always time to crack a joke.

    5. Teyla Emmagan can kick your butt.

    6. Ronon Dex can kick your butt.

    7. Teal'c can kick your butt.

    8. Teal'c can withstand any kind of torture, but he's not so good with brain-washing.

    9. "Ba'al" rhymes with "ball", as in bocce.

    10. Rodney McKay is a genius. He's also a jerk, but mostly a genius.

    11. The only good Goa'uld is a Tok'ra.

    12. There isn't an incredibly advanced piece of technology that Samantha Carter can not figure out, given a time limit.

    13. The Egyptian pyramids really were landing pads for giant alien spaceships. Really.

    14. "O'Neill" is spelled with two L's, unless he's played by Kurt Russell.

    15. So, anyway, that's how Daniel feels about it. What do you think?

    16. You don't want to be in the way when the Stargate goes "ka-whoosh!" Trust me.

    17. Stargate addresses are made up of seven symbols. Stargate addresses in another galaxy, however, use eight.

    18. The unique symbol on a Stargate is your point of origin. How do you know which one is unique? Well, you don't, unless you've seen another Stargate.

    19. Apophis is really, really hard to kill. Permanently, anyway.

    20. The most incredible power source in the known galaxies is a Zed-Pee-Em, but only if you're Canadian.

    21. Daniel's dead again? Don't worry, he'll be back.

    22. If no one knows your first name,you wont be surviving the next 45 minutes

    23. Always take the time to make a quip at your captor, it makes your escape just that more sweet.

    24. Teal'c is an unstoppable force when on one of his Jaffa revenge-things

    25. The Gate always looks cooler when it spins!

    26. Never let Rodney name things - that's Sheppard's job

    27. It's little Grey men not little Green men

    28. Stargate + wormhole = Instant Sun Remover

    29. NEVER stick your head inside any glowing holes in walls

    30. Don't ever think that things couldn't possibly get any worse. Things can always get worse.

    31. Glowing eyes + Funky voice = Evil alien among us.

    32. Tok'ras cure cancer.

    33. Don't say "Ka" until you've tried it.

    34. Nintendos pass through anything.

    35. You don't have to know the meaning of the word insolence to be good at it.

    36. Almost all other planets in the Universe look remarkably like Canada!

    37. If Mackay can't fix it ask his sister

    38. Nobody really knows what a Furling is. In fact, I think somebody just made them up.

    39. Why yes, Asgards are supposed to be naked like that.

    40. Carson Beckett is a medical doctor, not a bloody fighter pilot.

    41. Team leaders & first recon teams are always REALLY good-looking.

    42. Daniel can translate anything, given enough time.

    43. Don't trust aliens, even if they look like us, to assist in prolonging our health.

    44. We never leave a man behind.

    45. When someone insists he's not crazy, just believe him, for crying out loud!

    46. These things always happen to Siler. That's what he's there for.

    47. Siler is the Red Shirt who never dies.

    48. If you want some silence don't ask for it, just make a dumb joke, people will stare at you for minutes!

    49. Bullets bounce!

    50. In the 4 galaxies our way is the best and only way!

    51. If you are not USAF you are a bad guy or incompetent.

    52. Atlantis is a city...not a yo-yo.

    53. McKay can fix anything under the threat of certain death.

    54. When working with McKay ALWAYS carry a lemon!

    55. It doesn't matter how many times you save the planet, nobody's going to think that you can do ANYTHING. But blow up one sun....

    56. It is possible to resist a replicator mind probe...

    57. No matter how many times you witness unusual things you will still remain skeptical when someone gives you an "unusual thing" explanation for something

    58. Never run with scissors

    59. If at first you don't succeed try try try..try try try again

    60. Beer is the secret ingridient in omelettes

    61. Beer is a refreshing substitute for food.

    62. Special forces, black ops training and full-bird colonel status doesn't count for squat in a teenage body facing a USAF MP.

    63. Golf drives go remarkably farther in front of an open wormhole.

    64. Daniel was slow realizing he couldn't hit on every alien woman without consequences.

    65. To go faster, zat the engine crystals.

    66. Never let McKay design a culture.

    67. Evil clowns are harder to vanquish than replicators. They just keep sending them in.

    68. Carter's lovers have a shorter shelf life than McKay's bouts of humility.

    69. It's worth a concussion and hypothermia to make out with a half-dressed, wet and sexy Carter.

    70. Never trust a snake... even if you're in a garden.

    71. there are no fish in jack's pond-- except for that 1 time.....

    72. undomesticated equines could not remove teal'c ever.

    73. the asgard will always come in at the last minute when needed and save the day/world/sgc/whatever.

    74. jack is not MacGyver, no matter how much sam needed him to be when they were in Antarctica w/ other gate.......

    75. It really doesn't say Colonel on Jack's uniform ( that you can see anyway)

    76. There is nothing in Jack's eye that can explain this

    77. The chevron guy name is Walter Harriman

    78. McKay is not MacGyver or Answer Man

    79. That an injection in your butt won't get water out of your ears!

    80. Associating with Sokar makes you cranky

    81.Never judge a book by it's cover aka Atlantis may be a city but it's actually a spaceship.

    82.Just because there is a "Quarantine" does not mean there is an actual outbreak where you start getting sick.

    83. If someone tries to suck the life from you....run the other way.

    84. Don't let an iratus bug/wraith try to suck the life from you because you will turn into a half bug/ half human.

    85. Having Wraith DNA gives you an advance notice that the wraith are coming.

    86. Having the Ancient gene let's you use cool technology like the Jumper.

    87. One man's ceiling is another man's floor

    88. A fools paradise is a wise man's hell

    90. Just because Sam's reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn't mean she can't handle whatever you can handle

    91. Teal'c is not Lucy

    92. Jaffa and Satedans are prone to having a "revenge thing".

    93. Never, ever get addicted to a Sarcophagus or Wraith enzyme.

    94. When in doubt, use the C4.

    95. If at first you don't succeed, try a bigger thermonuclear reaction.

    96. You always need to know who's watching your six. Or, in Russian, your "shest".

    97. Where theres a will theres an ori

    98. It's not Syler's job to change the lightbulbs

    99. And we're walking.....

    100. Someone really needs to teach Apophis how to die

    118) If you have nothing else to say, the script to The Wizard of Oz will do just fine.

    141. Vala is the best thief in two galaxies. Except when she isn't.

    142. Playing video games actually will get you places in life. Like stuck on a spaceship in the middle of nowhere.

    143. Spaceship food is gross. It looks like gloop, tastes like gloop, and smells like gloop.

    144.a. Unless he or she is the doctor.

    156. Remember, if you blow up a sun, the world will always expect the impossible.

    163. If you don't understand the alien's English, it must be Oma.

    165. Daniel speaks all languages (he only claims 20-some, but he totally speaks all human languages.)

    166. Never date Daniel Jackson. (You will get a snake in your head. )

    167. Never date Sam Carter. (You will die. Unless you're Pete, then you'll just get your heart broken.)

      190. If someone has green skin, snake eyes, and white hair, they're a Wraith.

      191. The best way to get on McKay's good side, is to give him blue jello.

      192. If it's a Wraith, Ronon will always shoot it. Always.

      193.Need a really good pilot? Call John Sheppard.

      194. Need a doctor? Call Carson Beckett.

      195.Jennifer's a good doctor too.

      196. Elizabeth Weir is a GREAT leader.
      Just because something is unknown, does not necessarily mean that it needs to be feared. Trust yourself, and the rest will unfold. ~Teyla Emmagen~

            201. Never trust a subspace tracker flashing in the middle of nowhere. Garanteed that it's the one wraith you let go asking you for help, which involves risking your life... again.
