One is telling the other "We have been searching all the known pheromone trails for generations and found nothing! We are clearly alone." We might just be missing the galactic obvious. Or maybe the ones that can talk over light years don't want to chat with juvenile brats on Facebook. "Religion, n.

No way would they be curious with our anatomy or our childish behavior. IMO, if it we me and I saw the atrocities perpetrated by us in the last 3000 years... I'd just "move along nothing to see here" with my kids on vacation. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

I may have trouble bruising, but the above mentioned injuries left red areas.
