  2. Courtroom Quotations

    From Sci-Fi Wire:

     

    The June 13 two-hour seventh-season premiere of the SCI FI Channel original series Stargate SG-1 beat its cable competition with a 1.9 household rating, the network reported. The show delivered more viewers (2.43 million) than any season premiere of any series in SCI FI history.

     

    The premiere also brought in more viewers than any episode of Stargate SG-1 in its entire cable run to date, the network reported. The premiere was the most-watched June telecast in the history of SCI FI and outshone its basic-cable competition, coming in at number one for the day in both persons 18-49 (1.35) and persons 25-54 (1.55), the network reported.

    ~You walk into a local bar expecting to see Whoppi Goldberg.

     

    ~Your going over the alphabet with a kid, and when you reach "Q" you clench your fists.

     

    ~You see your doctor leave the office, you shudder thinking that he might disappear

     

    ~You get rid of your TV and build a big room with yellow gridlines.

     

    ~You're engine breaks down, and you try to eject it before it explodes

     

    ~Nearing a tunnel, you prepare to enter a wormhole.

     

    ~You ask a security officer to melt into a puddle.

     

    ~You see a cube and prepare to be assimilated.

     

    • You join NASA, hijack a shuttle, and head for the coordinates you calculated for the planet Vulcan.

     

    • You pull the legs off your hamster so you'll have a tribble.

     

    • You tried to join the Navy just so you could serve aboard the Enterprise.

     

    • Your wife left you because you wanted her to dress like a Klingon and torture you for information.

    12.You drive by a used car lot and start looking for ferengi


  7. I heard that on the news last week.  Obviously Americans are not well thought of in Europe but then I already knew that.

    Where is your sense of humour ? If I had a choice to vote for the greatest Brit, and Mr Bean was on the list then I would vote for him. B) You take everything too serious. It's laughter that makes the world go round, not love


  8. Reported at TGL by Chris Howell

     

    From BBC Cult TV:

     

    Homer Simpson is in the running to be named the greatest American.

     

    At the time of writing, Homer has captured a fifth of the votes in a poll conducted by BBC2.

     

    The vote has been carried out for a BBC2 programme called What the World thinks of America to be screened on Tuesday at 9pm.

     

    Homer looks set to beat Abraham Lincoln, who is in second place with 16% of the votes.

     

    Martin Luther King is in third position, ahead of such bizarre choices of BA Baracus from the A-Team. Though it is unlikely that he will come over to collect his prize, 'cos he ain't getting on no plane.

     

    The 90-minute debate will be presented by BBC political editor Andrew Marr and will feature national broadcasters from around the world expressing their view of the US in a live satellite link-up.


  9. Would that make me RBG? (RoboBeachGuy)

    Yeah lol but this is starting to scare the crap outta me. When you first said you had to wear a "brace" I was picturing a little Velcro thingy, now I see you have become Darth Vader. During the past 4 days I have been offline, the tingling in my fingertips has not subsided at all. B)

    Do you wake up sometimes with pins, and needles in you fingers, and hands ? I do :lol:


  10. Eh, I don't drink, mainly becuase I'm underaged.  Even if I were old enough, I still wouldn't care to.  If you drink now and then, that's peachy.  However, why on Earth would you want to get drunk?  B)  It damages your body, impares your judgement, and makes you vomit afterwards.

    You don't have any problems if you know your limit :lol:


  11. Stargate, and Enterprise

     

    Stargate SG-1 ... Either part of the team, or I would pobably be a Tok'ra. The shared knowledge would be great. You could spend hours talking to yourself and not be crazy. Plus you could freak people out by changing your voice, or making your eyes glow. B)

     

    Then there's the Nox, I just love the Nox with the leaves and twigs in their hair. :lol: 33.jpg They always remind me of fairy folk

     

    Enterprise ... hmmm I'm thinking


  12. That was on the discovery channel about the origin of man. They say we started in Africa with one tribe, and one woman in this tribe carried the DNA that modern man has. But I must point out they weren't the only tribe.


  13. Then I should have said Cain, and Abel were the first 2, but it never explains after Cain killed Abel he went to the land of Nod, east of Eden and took a wife, and they had a son named Enoch. Where did she come from ?

     

    It's a well known fact that just 2 people can't replenish a planet. Too much interbreeding causes the line to die out.
