10 Reason ... Why it is more fun to be…

A kid on Atlantis

… Given the atlantean gene-pool, you will either be a prodigy or a super athlete

… Saying 'the Wraith culled my home work' or 'I couldn't do my maths because the Asuran invaded' is so much better than 'the dog ate my books'

… Gorgeous aliens take care of your physical education; Having a crush on your teacher and wanting to marry him her once grown up has never been more presentable

… You don't read Peter Rabbit or watch Teletubbies; Quantum physics are your lullaby, the adventures of the SG –1 team are your good night fairytale

…You get homeschooled by the most brilliant minds in the whole universe; By the age of twelve you'll be a match for both Samantha Carter and Stephen Hawking

… Most of your toys are over 10 000 years old and weapon-grade

… You are not afraid of monsters in your closet, since they can't hold a candle to the ones you know for real

… You get around eating your greens most of the time by asking the botanists what it is you're eating

… If you're born with the ATA-gene, you would get all the attention you want by simply switching on and off the whole city

… Puddle Jumpers are the best strollers ever

Okay, now the common ones are through – onto the specials :)

10 Reason ... Why it is more fun to be…

Sheppard on Atlantis

… Except for your relationship being completely platonic, Atlantis is the best girlfriend ever

… Nobody in Pegasus is mocking your hair style when you run around with (w)hairdos like the ones on Ronon's or McKay's head

… You can play golf and don't have to worry about not putting the ball near any hole at all, for there are none

… Since there's nothing else to watch on TV, you are 'forced' to spent your days with football and hockey reruns

… Alien priestess are no myth; Neither are chiefs daughters

… You're official job is to secure the city; Unofficially you spent your days annoying scientists, watch TV and avoid training with Ronon

… Blowing up spaceships is cool; Flying one is even better

… Getting beaten up by an Alien each time sparring sounds better than losing to a woman

… 55 Billion lightyears between you and your Ex-wife

… Losing your way on an alien planet is never as embarrassing as getting lost in McMurdo

A Kitchen chef on Atlantis

… You can always transform your oven into a atomic bomb by as much as pushing one button

… Nobody can tell for sure if you have been using laxatives or if the new grains are to blame

… You are the highest authority in Atlantis - you hold the key to the coffee supply room

… Marines and security know better than to ask if you're kiddy when you call them to catch the fleeting vegetables before they reach the shore

… You don't have to eat what you have cooked

… The annunciation of the menus for the next month is way more nerve-racking than a Wraith siege; In the end it's you who decides how many people will leave for Earth on the next Daedalus run

… If you want to set people on a diet, you simply tell them the truth about what they ate for lunch

… You know the secret of making McKay smile

… The ancient kitchen knife rack is better stocked than the atlantean amory

… After three years on Atlantis, nobody can even come close to you in grossing people out; One pitiful look and everybody in the mess stops eating
