The logic is sound

(During an episode of Stargate SG-1. The characters are trapped in an area about to flood, and the Stargate, their way home, will not open.)



TV - This place is going to flood in 48 hours!



C - Why don't they just float?



M - What?



C - People float, right? Why don't they just wait for it to flood, then float through the Stargate when it opens?

I'm Spartacus

(Completely at random)



C - Is there more than one Mecca?



M - No.



C - Really?



D - I...what? I don't even know how to reply to that.



C - What? It would be confusing, wouldn't it? "I'm praying to Mecca", "no you're not, it's the other way", "but it's this way too". See? Confusing.

Oh. I thought this was a Superman advert. He looked just like Superman.
