Because getting several more after you die would be a bit creepy.

The only tattoos I have are alignment marks from when I had radiotherapy 25 years ago. I have no inclination to get any more!

Stargate's replicators were what Star Trek's Borg always should have been; an implacable, unreasonable, single-minded enemy that acted like insects (and actually looked like them too,) adapted to threats, and even gave the most powerful civilization around (the Asgard) a lot of trouble.
When they finally did introduce their variation of the "Borg Queen" (human form replicators with individual personalities) it wasn't Star Trek's weird "hey, we know we said they were a hive mind with no central authority... but we want a Queen, so RETCON!" It was an actual evolution of the "species" after a particularly misguided attempt to wipe out the replicators went horribly wrong and locked them in a time dilatation long enough for their AI to continue to grow and become self-aware. ;)
Also: THEY LOOKED LIKE A LEGO PROJECT FROM HELL!!!
Each of the "blocks" that make up this insect are actually individual Replicators. They're basically tiny super computers with one goal: consume resources and replicate (the story behind their creation is dealt with through various episodes.) In order to fulfill their goal, they combine in various ways to defend themselves and more easily consume anything in their path. The insect form is the most common variation.
And since the main character of Stargate is played by Richard Dean Anderson, the show basically turns into "MacGyver vs. Lego Spiders" and it is awesome.

Welcome to the wonderful world of tattoos, Clinton!

--- End quote ---
It's just you. Emily is tall.
She is, I think, the third or fourth tallest regular, after Dale. Probably 5th or 7th tallest overall. (Variability depends on how tall Veronica actually is.)
I think Wil is tallest. Then Sven, Jim, and Dale, then Emily, Henry, Veronica and maybe Maurice.
Clinton, OTOH, is among the shortest cast members.
(Wil and Sven aren't regulars atm, Veronica is. Jim is iffy.) Given Marten's 5'8" to 5'10" Emily is 5'10" to 6'1"

Don't forget Elliot!
