Bastet was a goddess in ancient Egyptian religion, worshiped as early as the Second Dynasty (2890 BC). As Bast, she was the goddess of warfare in Lower Egypt, the Nile River delta region, before the unification of the cultures of ancient Egypt. Her name is also spelled Baast, Ubaste, and Baset.
The two uniting cultures had deities that shared similar roles and usually the same imagery. In Upper Egypt, Sekhmet was the parallel warrior lioness deity to Bast. Often similar deities merged into one with the unification, but that did not occur with these deities with such strong roots in their cultures. Instead, these goddesses began to diverge. During the Twenty-Second Dynasty (c. 945–715 BC), Bast had changed from a lioness warrior deity into a major protector deity represented as a cat.Bastet, the name associated with this later identity, is the name commonly used by scholars today to refer to this deity.
Bastet, the form of the name which is most commonly adopted by Egyptologists today because of its use in later dynasties, is a modern convention offering one possible reconstruction. In early Egyptian, her name appears to have been bꜣstt. In Egyptian writing, the second t marks a feminine ending, but was not usually pronounced, and the aleph ꜣ () may have moved to a position before the accented syllable, ꜣbst. By the first millennium, then, bꜣstt would have been something like *Ubaste (< *Ubastat) in Egyptian speech, later becoming Coptic Oubaste.

This is a list of the Goa'uld characters that appear in Stargate, Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis. In the Stargate fictional universe, the Goa'uld are a parasitic alien race that use other beings as hosts. Ra had stated in the original Stargate film that he had used humans exclusively as hosts for millennia, because Goa'uld technology can repair human bodies so easily that by inhabiting human forms they can be in effect ageless, though they can still be injured or killed. Most Goa'uld pose as gods in order to control slave armies, and are considered evil, egocentric megalomaniacs by those who do not worship them. The Goa'uld are extremely intelligent and have an aptitude for understanding, working with, and using technology that is superior to that of humans. They each have full access to their species' genetic memory from the moment of birth. As a result, no Goa'uld has to learn how to operate any technological device; they 'know' how to do so innately.
At first I told myself
I need my head inspected
I notice little things
Same t-shirt and sun glasses
Then it got weirder see
She cut her hair like me
She bought a red guitar
Kept driving round in my car
I'm kissing her and she
She slams me against the wall
She crashed into a bus
Chasing some super model
She's analysed my smile
She's memorised my phone book
She always wears my clothes
Her favourite words are WOOOHOO!(F**k Off)
She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She's stealing my identity
And I'm begging you
Somebody notice me somebody notice
I'm fading away here
What have I got to do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me
I'm saying something's wrong
She's out back playing soccer
She used to do ballet
Now she's a heavy smoker
She's so obsessed with me
That she stands up to pee
And now her stupid games
Have started taking over
Don't need no special help
Don't need to see a doctor
I know you're worried but
I'm telling you just watch her
It's like she's cracked my code
Knows things I've never spoke of
She wants sex all the time
and still find time to **** off
She looks like, just like, sounds like me
She's stealing my identity
And I'm begging you!
Somebody notice me somebody notice
I'm fading away here
What have I got to do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me
I'm not joking
She won't stop provoking me
I'm going under
What have I got to do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me
I'm in the loony bin
Wearing a pale pink nighty
The nurse comes through the door
And whispers so politely
"You're boyfriends here to see you
Look pretty and take a bath
I love his silly band
Can I get his autograph?"
She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She's stealing my identity
And I'm begging you!
Somebody notice me somebody notice
I'm fading away here
What have I got to do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me
I'm not joking
She won't stop provoking me
I'm going under
What have I got to do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be
She wants to be
