SETI will announce something major tomorrow.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Major discoveries in the scientific community usually follow the winds of rumored goverment and grant cutoffs.

I predict they will announce the discovery of an alien message.

I predict they will announce and end to operations due to loss of funding.
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shannymara', 'A')wesome, does that mean the aliens are going to save us from peak oil and we will get to have a Star Trek future after all? So I can go on being a techno geek indefinitely without regard for the ecological health of the planet and the emotional health of humans? SWEET. Phew, that was a close one. For awhile there I thought I was going to have to get my hands dirty.

Seriously though, how did you happen to come by this news? I can't find a press release or anything (although I admit I only spent about 2-3 minutes looking) besides that one page you linked to.

Yeah. Right up until you figure out that you are the other white meat.

Have they found intelligent life on Earth yet? And by 'intelligent,' I mean animals that don't shit in their own house...

Sure. My dog doesn't shit in the house. Heck. Even I don't shit in the house. That's what the OUT-house is for.

wait..the earth is an outhouse! ;-)

Is this a fark?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') work for (insert company name); So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about. But trust me.... You don't. I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around. If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do. Cos some (insert target group) believe anything they hear.


What would you prefer - agressive aliens attack! or really big rock traveling really fast toward earth? ;-)

Unfortunately, the link posted by Aaron has been updated to state that tomorrow's announcement will be mundane and will not include the finding of aliens. The creation theory stands.
