That was wonderfully entertaining! Thanks for sharing. It does cause this meat-based brain to consider the possibilities. Jared On Fri, Jul 18, 2014 at 1:03 PM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

The key to us getting off this planet or to the Klingon's getting to our planet is to overcome the energy barriers imposed on us by general relativity. We keep looking for loopholes in the GR laws of Physics and we keep not finding them. We can only plan on being in deep cryo-sleep for decades in a ship that only carries enough fuel to slow to a stop at the destination. Then we have to wake up and successfully harness the resources of a new largely unknown planet to fuel up for the return trip. Only to find that centuries have passed at our home planet and our ancestors greet us with a big "so what" or worse a xenophobic hail of gunfire. I'm glad the bad guys live under the same limitations. DT

Whenever I go out alone, either to gaze or to take some astro photos, I always yell out the same deal within earshot of any passing aliens…."free anal probes for a month if they just tell me how their propulsion system works." Never, ever, do I get a taker. Either I’m not very attractive (my wife votes for this one) or they’re just not interested (I do tend to be out in areas where there are cattle) or I’m just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Where’s the love?..I mean life. Dave On Jul 18, 2014, at 14:36, daniel turner via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:

The thought of an anal probe is very off putting, perhaps you should offer the use of a meat thermometer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Gary" <davegary@me.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, July 18, 2014 4:48:50 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Life elsewhere Whenever I go out alone, either to gaze or to take some astro photos, I always yell out the same deal within earshot of any passing aliens…."free anal probes for a month if they just tell me how their propulsion system works."
