Daniel's still looking pretty happy, but still moving gingerly at the front of the classroom.

"Morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. I'll have the homework on my desk, please, at the end of the lesson.  Now, instead of my scheduled lecture, we're going to have a question and answer discussion. We're going to talk about what you want to talk about. That okay with you? Or should I continue talking about Sais?"

He grins.

"Someone will ask a question, and we'll see if anyone else knows the answer. If not, then I'll do my best to answer it.

Now? Any questions?"

At the end of the lesson, he smiles.

"Pick one of the subjects we talked about, and I want a hundred words on it for Wednesday. Thank you everyone. Have a good couple of days."

"Because Goa'uld motherships need pyramids to land on. Anyone got any ideas about this?"

"Pyramids are easier. It's like making them with Lego blocks.. it's way easier to build a pyramid than a sphere."

"Yeah, but spheres are fun."

"Would you like to try and build a large sphere out of sandstone bricks, including hollow chambers for burials?" Daniel asked. "I understand there's a room in the school where we could try it if you do..."

"Uh, no sir. But then, I wouldn't want to build a pyramid either."

"Charlie actually made a good point," Daniel said. "About using the building materials that they had."

Cameron nods in understand, but says something under his breath that sounds like "I still think spheres would have been cool."

"And they make cooler Borg ships. I agree. But since they didn't have cranes or anything, and they had to make them out of big limestone rocks, so it would've been hard to move unless they had alien technology."
