Space Age
-
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?

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?

Just what scientific achievement do you think was had from doing hundreds or even thousands of random colonoscopies?
Dalek Dave wrote:
Don't they have TVs,
yes, nothing was on.

youtube
yes, but they got tired of watching "leave britney alone"

19th Century Romantic novels?
well, in their world it was 190th century, but yes they do... oddly enough it centers around random colonoscopies....

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

Not until there is decent shopping and she can wear non-sensible shoes.

Probably recalled, due to fuel leaks and lead paint usage

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:

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.

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

That may present an imbalance in certain carnal maneuvers...
I do not believe they are right who say that the defects of famous men should be ignored. I think it is better that we should know them. Then, though we are conscious of having faults as glaring as theirs, we can believe that that is no hindrance to our achieving also something of their virtues. - W. Somerset Maugham My New Blog

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.
Nothing is impossible, we just don't know the way of it yet.

Don't forget Tang. :laugh: Seriously though, there's a long list of useful spinoffs from the space program. I have a Heinlein essay listing a number of them that he wrote ~1980. If I can find the book it's in I'll post them out tonight.

Given enough sufficiently inventive gasgets for killing people then you can ensure peace on earth. Well, as long as you've wiped out every last person on the planet (including yourself of course - after all, you may end up having a falling out with yourself).

Hmmmm Space Girls you say - I think we have been invaded in my area - did other traits involve inability to handle alcohol and wearing short skirts over scabby legs with their belly folded over the top? If so we defo have them round here.
At university studying Software Engineering - if i say this line to girls i find they won't talk to me Dan
