A Word about SETI

I was searching for Weird Al stuff on YouTube the other day and typed in parody. I got a very funny video about SETI thinking they had found intelligent life in space but that they had got something else instead. Don't want to ruin it for anyone who cares to watch it. It was Funny. However it brought something to mind.

We have broadcast 98 Episodes of Gillgan's Island plus one movie. 5 seasons of Get Smart, 9 seasons of the Beverly Hillbillies, who knows how many seasons of Green Acres, and I Love Lucy. Still there are folks who wonder why intelligent life hasn't contacted us?

Let's face it if we do get visited by aliens they will probably be trying to mount a rescue mission for " Seven Stranded Castaways Here on Gilligan's Isle "

So if such a group were to land in your nation's capital how would your Govt Greet them. I can imagine Ottawa " Here you but put these blankets around you before you freeze to death"

Or the States reach for the sky we've got another load for Area 51.

Scotland would offer a shot, Ireland a Guniness, England would insist on a proper introduction. The Aussies wouldn't let them in unless they had a criminal record.

What about the rest of the world.

As Eric Idle says in the Galaxy song " Let's hope there's intelligent life out in space cause there's bugger all of it down here"

  2. Granny Clampett could wrestle those space aliens with one arm and stir her possum stew with her other hand. Speaking of outer space, do you believe in ufo's and aliens?

  4. Tracey what is the difference between tea and high tea anyway. I doubt it is using marijuana to brew the tea.

  6. Mimi: Good question I wish I had a really good answer. Aliens are a maybe I try to keep an open mind. I don't think ufo's would be visible to us unless they considered us little more than cave dwellers. I doubt they are here to study us. Unless they are visiting to get a good laugh, or cry. As to unidentified flying objects. Perhaps the odd one is visiting but I think most are just things we either can't identify or classified experiments.

    Why would anything even close to intelligent want to visit Mankind?
