Does anyone know if someone maintains a listing of all of the "sayings" that
are part of each X-Files episode's opening credit sequence (for example, "The
Truth Is Out There" is usually the saying, but in episode # 4X04 Teliko, the
saying was "Deceive Enveigle Obfuscate"...

I've been trying to keep track of them since the beginning of Season 4 (USA),
but need the first three seasons. I'm planning on adding the sayings to my
X-Files "Automated Episode Guide" programs which are available on my page at:

http://www.slinknet.com/~wmorgan/xfiles.html

Any help would be appreciated. Original list authors and those helping me
locate such a list (if one exists) will get full credit in the upcoming release
of the program.

If you reply with any info on how I can locate such a list, please cc: the
answer to my email address at wmo...@slinknet.com because this news server is
a bit unreliable.

Thanks!

just for spelling those right, you deserve a reply. Check here:

However, I was not amused by the crossposting.

There was a saying in Apache, I think. "E Hala E Oohla."

No, wait. That means "wider is better..."

I'll get back to you...

I don't remember the cancerman one, but for the episode where they go to
Calgary and find the Samatha clones, the saying was "Everything Dies",
which was echoed by the unablonder, who we meet at the end, when she says,
"Not everything dies, Mr. Mulder."

Actually, they're not spelled right. It's "Inveigle" not
"Enveigle".
