These have probably been posted before but I don't care. In no particular order.
1. 7% is not standard
2. 10% is. Plus you get your own room and full run of the kitchen.
3. Juggling geese can be fun.
4. Don't mess with an old gangster with an eastern european accent, who has a torture fetish.
5. Always send money to your mother so she can knit you a cunning hat.
6. It's illegal to ship a dead body via the postal service. You should try Fed-Ex instead.
7. If you see a sign saying "Good Dogs" and cages full of dogs, you best keep walking.
8. If the whore house looks like a frozen dinner pack, then you'd better hope the whores look a whole lot better.
9. Any food that's tied to a stick with string will most likely be problematic.
10. Never get in a fight at an Alliance friendly bar on U-Day, it never goes well.

WWJD: What Would Jayne Do?

Well this is one that I'm just gonna have to join in on:
1. Doesn't matter if you're on the winning side, save you were on the right side.
2. Even the littlest part can cause the biggest disaster.
3. ALWAYS know who you're kissing.
4. Uppance will come to those who talk in the theater.
5. The chain of command does exist, and Jayne would much like to use it.
I'm sure I could think of more, but, unfortunately, I have an awards ceremony to attend.

Ten things I learned from watching Firefly:
1) Don't wear a blue sun shirt in the kitchen, there are too many knives around.
2) Learn to use a sword before you decide to punch someone at the ball.
3) Don't call someone who just got out of a cage, sir, you tend to get beat up for that.
4) Midgets can be by far the most troublesome cargo, and they like fire.
5) Governments are meant to get in a man's way.
6) Beware of a girl with a gun who has her eyes closed.
7) When someone says "fire", it's not the birthday candles you need to worry about.
8) When hiring mercs, make sure they have their own room, unless you want to get shot in the leg.
9) That's no shephard.
10)Those who do the impossible are mighty.
Thanks to all who never stopped fighting, I love my BDM.

I can't think of many but here goes nothing...
1) Missionaries can secretly be trained fighters.
2) You do not want to 'do' your best friend's sister.
3) People who play with toys can get some.
4) Waking up to check up on your guns in the middle of the night is alright.
5) Leaves can soar into space.
6) In the future, a girl who seems innocent is one who knows how to fix spaceship engines better than you.
7) It is alright to get stuck in a valley and live there.
8) Eastern Europeans in the future are still crazy.
9) If you think al-Qaeda is cruel, wait until you meet Reavers.
10) Partially transparent latex gloves have been replaced with blue latex gloves in the future.
I told you they would suck...

I think, Firefly really was a highly educational program (almost as much, as Sesamestreet), so this is what I learned from it:
1. Offering to kill somebody might not work as well as an incentive, as one might think. (point of interest).
2. When being tortured, dying might seem the thing to do. (might not help an awful lot, though)
3. No-one pays you to get your hair plaid at (which is a real shame!)
4. If you pay your workers near to nothing, you can pass on the savings to your customers (now wait - seems, my boss is a browncoat after all!)
5. Meditating beats just sittin'. (well… it is just sitting!)
6. Everyone has the right to live and try to kill people (… I mean… you know… dumb planet!)
7. Sonic rifles are just Shee-niou high tech crap, when it comes to open a door with them. (still wish I had one, though)
8. You might not get a neural reaction from a patient, even if you apply the cortical electrodes. (now can I be a doctor?)
9. If you are been given the shortest end of a stick ever offered a human soul in this crap-heel 'verse... well... take it! (at least, that's something!)
10. Everybody dies alone. (especially FOX Execs!)
HELP I CAN'T STOP!!!
11. A ruthless bounty-hunter can still be a philosopher (That seem right to you?)
12. If you're floating in space all alone, your chances are one in about... a very big number. (well… here I am)
13. You never know, who is in a pregnant woman. (Sometimes it's Jonah, though)
14. Even a leaf in the wind can be speared. (sob!)
15. The reg couple don't really serve much of a purpose. Just tends to gum up the works when it gets tacked. Better to just plug your g-line straight into the port-pin-lock (I have to go and see, whether I have one of these in my car …)
16. One of the virtues of not being puritanical about sex is not being embarrassed afterwards. (buuuhuuuuhuuuuuuuu!)
17. Space trash kinda latches onto the first big somethin' stops long enough. (Hey -- now that'd be a bit like Simon and his sister, wouldn't it?)
18. Transport ships have no guns (might come in handy, if you ever plan to attack one!)
19. Companions don't kiss and tell (but there is kissin'!)
20. There are witches in congress. (and also a beast, it seems)
21. In some situations, being proper might be everything that is left. (Now this is really one to take home!)
22. If you have done well, you'll get wife-soup (if you have the right wife!).
23. If you start an autopsy, make sure, the person is dead! (or at least has some cloth on…)
24. Rubbing soup in your hair is always a hoot (and get's no-one killed).
25. Geese juggling is very relaxing (you really should try it!)
26. If the snow on the roof is too heavy, the ceiling will cave in (and your brains are in terrible danger!)
27. We are all lost in the woods (but then again, it's the only place, where one can see a clear path.)
28. "Mal" means "bad" in the Latin (oh, and did you know, that "Zoe" means "Life" in Greek? And that "Simon" means "God has listened" in Hebrew? And that "River" means "big stream" in English? - Oh, never mind!)
29. People tend to look bigger, when you can't see them.
30. And finally: there's a lot to learn about planning:
• If you end up naked in a desert, doesn't necessarily mean, that your plan went wrong.
• If your son finally became a man, doesn't necessarily mean, that your plan went right.
• But if your plan went wrong (and you e.g. did loose her), be gracious.
Whow, now I'm educated!

I learned from Firefy that if Captain Mal and crew are stealing from people shooting people or participating in a punch-up in a bar that that they aren't bad as it first may seem.

1. Avoid going to the "Special Hell."
2. Some food could be problematic.
3. How to be the hero of my own crappy town.
4. Speaking Mandarin Chinese in the place of bad words gets rid of that annoying beep.
5. The Alliance "don't like it when you shoot at them."
6. Never wear a Blue Sun T-Shirt.
7. When trying to find the friend that spent a few years in government custody, try looking up.
8. Don't kiss 'em on the lips.
9. Next time a friend comes up to you that needs to tell you he wants to be taken seriously, just walk away.
10. When testing a pair off transmitters, it's most affective being tested more that 10 feet apart.
