Well there is a way to find out.
(I saw this on actiontrip)
Take this quiz!!!!

You are walking across a beautiful grassy knoll when you come across a strange glowing yellow flower. Do you:

a.) Casually walk by it without batting any of your three eyes.
b.) Stop to wonder for a second and then beam back to the mothership.
c.) Pluck the delicate flower from the ground, take it back to your place and play it a tune from your homeworld until it stops glowing.
d.) Wonder what the hell you're doing on a freaking gassy knoll with nothing to do and no net connection.

Well? What would you do??? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

D. Very D. Very very D.

And besides, there can't be aliens among us. All the aliens are in Switzerland.

Lady Sedai 12-16-2004 09:13 AM

D for me, please.

And no, IG, I'm afraid many of the aliens are here in the States and...illegally...

A. Nothing unusual about glowing flowers. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go pick up those custom-made three-lensed sunglasses I ordered last week.

Illegally? Well, that would explain it.

Why would there be aliens among us, who would want to come here to his backwater arse of a solarsystem. Not unless they got lost or were sent here as a punishment... they would rather be on Arcturus IV I think... [img]smile.gif[/img]

And Iron Greasel, you Sig is burning my retina.

Iron Greasel 12-16-2004 02:19 PM

Whats a retina?

Aragorn1 12-16-2004 02:22 PM

part of the eye (coloured bit?)

Iron Greasel 12-16-2004 02:27 PM

Ah yes, I remember! Retinal scanners!
I'll just stop spamming now, 'k?

The retina is a seven-layered structure involved in signal transduction.

Jerry_Seinfeld 12-16-2004 03:23 PM

Aragorn1 12-16-2004 03:43 PM

Yeah, 2 species, but we don't notice each other because of a supernatural force called the gender divide!!!

Kakero 12-17-2004 01:07 AM

There are aliens among us.
* randomly point at someone *

Jorath Calar 12-17-2004 01:47 AM

b.) Stop to wonder for a second and then beam back to the mothership.

I'd return with a team of scientists to examine said flower, and troops to enforce a perimiter. Then determine if the flower will survive being removed from it's native ground, and place it aboard the mother ship and research it.

But how would I do any of that without an internet connection?

Niadh 12-19-2004 09:12 AM

E: stamp on it.
