What if they came here wanting plants or what if they crash landed here not knowing where here was? What if they were just here making crop circles and had to get out to take a whiz or whatever they might do? One of my favorite quotes ever, "Elvis is not dead. He just went home."

      Just an interesting question i came up with. If you see an alien and it sees you too, who will be more scared? You or it? :rolleyes: I was reading up some info on UFOs when this question struck my mind:) Weiye Chen Life is hard, yet we are made of flesh...

      When they come here, they are likely prepared to meet someone. We, however, are not. The rest will be determined by their and our "darwinian conditioning" - do they look more Grizzly or more Panda? Do we look more like their "Single-nosed bulbous head-cruncher", or "like this little guy in this comic, you know"?

        When I say this, I probably speak for Roger W and Marc C too :-) "If the alien met my ex-wife, it may need intensive care treatment for a few weeks before it may regain consciousness" Nish :-D

        If that ever happens the alien will shortly conclude that, not only is there no intelligent life here, but despite that fact, this planet is anything but harmless. It's clearly hostile!:-D What a great place to build an intergalactic bypass! Who's going to miss it? "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

            Sadly that sounds all too familiar. "Hostile" doesn't even begin to describe her.

              Never mind the aliens - I feel like I need a month of intensive therapy every time I'm unfortunate enough to encounter her! :mad: Anna :rose: Riverblade Ltd - Software Consultancy Services Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.
