Yeah - it’s some alien kid. I spoke to him yesterday. He is a cool guy. He told me he’ll post on the forums later. He does not have control of what I am typing right now.

I would like to point out the use of “New” and “previously unknown”. Wouldnt it have been better to say “We really have no clue what this is”. I saw signs, I am going out to buy a baby monitor now.

Hahahahaah…we are SO screwed.
Ever see Mars Attacks? (I don’t recommend it, but if you have, I hope the scars have healed.)

everyone knows SETI@Home is really a secret government project designated to inform them of what sort of person you are… i.e. whether you support bush or not (if not, expect an assault squad in the next week or so… i had to beat them off with a baseball bat…)

To me the proof that aliens are NOT hostile is the fact that we are still here.
I believe arrogance is not permitted in the universal community. That is why we are not part of it (yet).

It’s all the fault of the media… back in the day when people actually read tabloids… it formed certiain impressions which still haven’t entirely been washed out…

If the aliens doesn’t get us, we’ll get ourselves. The whole stereotype’ll kill us all. I’ve been doubting some ‘members’ in here already.
