    Tomorrow (Oct 4th) is the 50th anniversary of the Launch of Sputnik, and thus the beginning of the Space Age. Great things were promised... Moonbases by 1980, orbital Hotels, Space Girls with 3 breasts and green skin. Well ok, in 50 years we have seen many great things, the advances have been amazing. Pioneers and Mariners to the planets. Then Voyager, the greatest journey of them all. But as we sit here thinking of the acheivements made, ask yourselves this... Where's my JetPac? Will man ever land on the moon? Why are Aliens only abducting amusingly uneducated rednecks?

    No, not until women and beer can join him. He wanted to get there once, found nothing of interest and ran away. Until the moon has women, man won't go there. So the bigger question is will women ever land on the moon? and will there be TV and Beer?

    The average man is uninteresting and boring. Just as we study chickens rather than dolphins for brain research (got a friend who is an expert in chicken neurological activity, honest!), so too aliens find the bizarre actions of amusingly unecucated rednecks... well... amusing! Thus worth studying. They probably abducted a few average men and women too... they slept through the experience and the aliens found that quite boring.... plus the snoring from the male rattled their nerves. The woman, if she woke up, blamed a man rather than aliens.... it was all too depressing. So they stuck with the rednecks. And the ultimate question.... Why is there always one more question? -- modified at 12:59 Wednesday 3rd October, 2007

      Fear not, it's all starting to come around. People who grew up reading science fiction and now have a *lot* of money on their hands and have come to the realization that nothing we had all hoped for will ever come out of NASA or any government space agency are funding the dream.

        So what your saying is that the AUR (amusingly uneducated Rednecks), aren't being abducted for anal probing or other such experimentation, they are there to provide entertainment for the Aliens? Don't they have TVs, youtube or 19th Century Romantic novels?

                    They're probably just trying to extract that genetic mutation, in order to avoid the dumbing down affect it could potentially have on their species when they eventually start their mass breeding and world dominance program. Think about it: Alien captain: Xenomorph! Active the shields and bring the transenducer online! Xenomorph: wuz bout tu bubba. Hold ma' beer. :rolleyes:

                            We did get a lot of advancement from the space race. Teflon for one.

                              I find it sad that things that are promised seem to always revolve around technology--cure this, do that faster, go further, work less, feel more, feel less, etc. But really useful things, like "peace on earth", are ignored. I guess we like gadgets more, especially gadgets that kill. Marc

                                Well Geri does it for me! But no, wait, I want an exotic green dancing girl like on that episode of Star Trek. ( or Leia in her Golden Jabba Wear!)

                                  Fear not, it's all starting to come around. People who grew up reading science fiction and now have a *lot* of money on their hands and have come to the realization that nothing we had all hoped for will ever come out of NASA or any government space agency are funding the dream.

                                    Tomorrow (Oct 4th) is the 50th anniversary of the Launch of Sputnik, and thus the beginning of the Space Age. Great things were promised... Moonbases by 1980, orbital Hotels, Space Girls with 3 breasts and green skin. Well ok, in 50 years we have seen many great things, the advances have been amazing. Pioneers and Mariners to the planets. Then Voyager, the greatest journey of them all. But as we sit here thinking of the acheivements made, ask yourselves this... Where's my JetPac? Will man ever land on the moon? Why are Aliens only abducting amusingly uneducated rednecks?

                                      No, not until women and beer can join him. He wanted to get there once, found nothing of interest and ran away. Until the moon has women, man won't go there. So the bigger question is will women ever land on the moon? and will there be TV and Beer?

                                      The average man is uninteresting and boring. Just as we study chickens rather than dolphins for brain research (got a friend who is an expert in chicken neurological activity, honest!), so too aliens find the bizarre actions of amusingly unecucated rednecks... well... amusing! Thus worth studying. They probably abducted a few average men and women too... they slept through the experience and the aliens found that quite boring.... plus the snoring from the male rattled their nerves. The woman, if she woke up, blamed a man rather than aliens.... it was all too depressing. So they stuck with the rednecks. And the ultimate question.... Why is there always one more question? -- modified at 12:59 Wednesday 3rd October, 2007

I personally think that the aliens first abducted a Cubs fan as a control - So we can expect to see more UFO and abduction reports in the next few weeks as the aliens investigate the effect of playoffs to the denizens of the Ivy ballpark.

                                        We did get a lot of advancement from the space race. Teflon for one.
