while very interesting it seems like old news.

We could send them each 8 dollars from our new stimulus package.

"Some of those planets, assuming they really exist, will have evolved intelligent life forms - each believing they occupy the center of the universe."

Is that anything like having "faith" in God?

And they will all claim to be created in God's image, and animals like us have no rights.

As big as the Milk Way is, wouldn't be surprised if other Earth like planets are out there. The problem is dectecting them. Then we have the problem of distance. Until we can somehow travel beyond the speed of light, they will just be distant neighbors we can wink at from a telescope.

Steel Shank would be interested to hear where they stand on the whole In-and-Out/Whataburger issue.

"And they will all claim to be created 6,000 yrs ago"

The "God" thing that some choose to believe in must either be ADD or a ferret who saw something shiny and went to that instead.

It will pandemonium when/if we make contact with other living entities. Flat out chaos and I will laugh and laugh and laugh.

They used to be great places to live before WalMart and McDonalds opened up on every corner.

**** them...I hope they do come here, maybe in early July. I hope they talk to each other through a complicated countdown system and then I hope they punch a hole through NY, LA, and DC.

Well wait..I live in NY, so maybe they could roll on over to Newark.

Then I hope our young president bunkers down in the desert and flies a last-ditch mission to take down an alien ship just as a somewhat nerdy scientists and a fighter jock fly up to the mother ship in a 60yr old craft and plant a virus in their mainframe thus causing their shields to fall.

Then I hope those two shoot a nuke up their *** and barely make their escape just as the ship blows to bits. Then I hope one last brave pilot in the battle over the desert flies straight up into the alien's main weapon and blows it up too.

I don't know, just something I think about.

This is almost certainly life somewhere in outer space. There are too many damn galaxies for there NOT to be.

 

[wewokahorn]

"This is almost certainly life somewhere in outer space" is a completely different statement that "sciene has proven beyond doubt ..........."

What I am looking for is references to support the latter. If there are scientific articles supporting that statement then I am in need of some serious catch-up reading.

They will truly be an unbiased sample when we do the taste test for Whataburger vs IN-and-Out. Not like that ******** on TV.

 

[Nordberg]

Upon making first contact, we should great them with bags upon bags of Whataburger. No wait, we should great them with bags upon bags of Whataburger, brought to them by Vince Young. For no creature in this universe, no matter how evil, could possibly destroy something so beautiful.
