When Phelps took gold on Tuesday in the 200-meter butterfly (by 4/100ths of a second!) he celebrated his victory with a gesture that has become very familiar at the 2016 Rio Games - the finger wag. U.S. swimmer Lilly King first demonstrated the move following the women's 100-meter breaststroke semifinals on Sunday. The athlete finger-wagged Russian competitor Yulia Efimova - who failed a doping test earlier this year - after Efimova finished first in her heat. "You're shaking your finger number one and you've been caught for drug cheating. I'm just not a fan," King told NBC at the time.

Don't expect to see the Wraith, the Asgard or any other humanoid aliens from Stargate Sg-1 or Stargate Atlantis turning up in the new Stargate series, Sgu: Stargate Universe. Brad Wright, the executive producer and co-creator of Syfy's new show, told Canada.com that the extraterrestrials in the show won't look just like humans hiding behind latex masks.
"One thing we decided, in our pursuit of realism, was to step away from rubber-faced, English-speaking aliens, and you will see none of those in the new show," Wright said. "We will run into aliens. They're just not going to be human, latex-faced, English-speaking aliens."
The show will also have less "techno-babble" and put more emphasis on the characters than the two series that preceded it, according to Wright.
"When we were conceiving the idea for this, we definitely felt that, in some ways, Atlantis and Sg-1 had become a little bit too far into their mythologies,...
