"Lonesome outerspace invader blasting through the night Tuning in the soul music on the satellite All that low-down funky rhythm makes him jump and shout Just got to find that ghetto planet that everyone's talkin' about Tuning in the local scene on the radio The D.J. on the radar screen is telling him where to go The funky fever's getting louder, sounds just like a soul encounter Cruisin' for some bar-b-que right up Central Avenue And he's got a little dance he wants to do He pulls up to a big night club in his UFO Gets right in with all the folks out on the big dance floor It really stops the action, everybody's mystified To see that little step he's got as he goes glidin' by ('Now, he ain't doin' the Gigolo 'cause he ain't got no hips Looks like the Funky Chicken man, 'cept he ain't got no hips Those shiny metal threads he's wearin' really got some class I'd say he was doin' the Bomp, but I can't seem to find his ass ') Now, everybody fall in love He's reet, he's neat, he can't be beat You shake your shimmy like I shake mine He's hand held and he's jet propelled Shake it up from sun to sun He's fast and loose, he's full of juice Shake it like an atomic bomb He's got the goose so what's the use That UFO has landed in the ghetto |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Maybe. Maybe not. There is a statistical argument in favor of ET life, but I am not sure whether it holds water. It there is ETL, it is still likely that we will never contact them due to the huge distances. We can only contact them if they are within a few lightyears or so. |

I'm agnostic, when it comes to intelligent alien life. If it had any intelligence whatsoever, it would stay far far away from planet Earth. In fact, I'm pretty sure that if there IS intelligent life out there, Earth is the trailer park of the galaxy. |

Yeah, but maybe Earth's a great fixer-upper or an ideal starter planet. The cosmic real estate market might not be the same as our own, y'know. |

It's ten after four in the afternoon, and everybody in the world mysteriously falls asleep. Just like that, they are driving cars, whatever they are doing, bang!, they got to sleep, the Russians, the Chinese, the Americans, and the whole world sleeps for exactly one hour, till ten after five, and they wake up at ten after five, and mysteriously upon awakening everybody in the world find themselves in the pants business. Stay with us, 'cause it's brilliant. Everybody is making cuffs and flies and cutting velvet, y'know, And a spaceship lands from another planet, and men get out with jackets and shirts and black socks - no trousers at all. They say: "Are the pants ready?" We say: "No. Could you come back thursday?". They say they must have them, 'cause they are going to a wedding, and we work dillingently and make pants constantly and they come to get them, and when they come to pick them up, they leave us with socks, hankerchiefs, pillowcases and soiled linnen, and they say: "Do it!", and the president of the United States goes on television and says that an alien superpower from outer space with superior intelligence is bringing us their laundry, and they are foiled, 'cause they travelled a hundred and seventeen million lightyears to pick it up, and they forget their ticket. |

I just got home from work. All of these replies are awesome. I liked reading this thread...Larry is hilarious...Frank you're right on. I was surfing around the internet and came across some stuff mentioning aliens and SETI... I do not think we are alone....just very far away from somewhere else with life. Just a hunch! Thanks for the fun |

you have a Camaro? What color! You should be careful because I heard that if you drive a white Camaro after dark you will be abducted by aliens. Supposedly they LOVE white camaros with the 1983 body style. T top. |

Be careful when you go out at night with your friend. I'm surprised he hasn't been nabbed yet. I think you're Okay with that jeep as long as you do not have one of those big antennas whipping around. That attracts them. |

i like stephen hawking's simple proof that time travel is impossible. if it were, why havent we been visited from the distant future? or maybe we have? |

It may be that time travel is only physically possible to/from a few specific points on the time line and to/from a few specific places, not "any time, any where"; the Earth may not yet have reached any time traveling entry/exit point since its formation for all we know.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Agreed. I think the majority conception of life is an old one, that life can only exists under certain very, very narrow conditions. Now we find that there is life in very deep rock formations, under incredible pressure underwater and in intense heat of volcanbic areas. I believe life is probably as fundamental to the universe as the known elements themselves. |
