I knew this vast universe is not there just for us.

It would be an awful waste!! Wouldn't it??

As Eric Idle once commented

"pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth."

So that's why scientists are looking for intelligent life in other plants!

Because there's no intelligent life here on this planet!??

Its a classic

^^^ Brilliant!

Or have they found just another Slartibartfast creation?

(in the voice of a bored robot)

Oh no, not another rock covered in mindless carbon based life...brain the size of a planet and all they use me for is making toast, I don't know...

OK I give up

Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy

Great book, worth listening to the recorded for BBC radio version (early 80's I think) - a pretty crap TV series then an excellent film as per Dillions link above ...

Ask Ling Ling I am sure she could locate a copy of it !

could it be possible that inhabitants of other planets see us as aliens!!

We have all seen aliens movies where the aliens arrive in space ships but is nt that what us humans are doing with the space stations and space ships!!

I was wondering something similar.

Maybe there is a 58 tentacled jelly blob sitting in front of a computer reading about the discovery of a planet similar to his and speculating about the slightly dry soft things that inhabit it?

I bet he is wondering 'Do they have SITC there?'

EARTH-LIKE PLANET ACTUALLY SUNDERLAND-LIKE PLANET

HOPES of intelligent life on planet Gliese 581g were dashed yesterday as scientists revealed it is actually a bit like Sunderland.

Images from the Keck telescope clearly show deep grooves carved into the planet's crust by aliens dragging their knuckles back and forth, waiting for a human bouncer to punch.

The images were enhanced as the surface is usually covered in a thick, noxious gas believed to be caused by the planet's vast natural Vaux breweries.

Astronomer Roy Hobbs said: "It has four times the gravity of Earth, so its lifeforms are squat, sedentary creatures that hate to move very far from where they're born.

"They also have trouble mating, socialising or realising anywhere other than their immediate surroundings exist.

"Yet despite these setbacks they have independently come to the conclusion that Alan Shearer is a tw4t.

"This confirms the theory of convergent evolution. Any species we encounter in the future will agree that he's a tedious b4stard who is probably still going on and on and on about goal-line technology."

NASA are planning a manned probe to Gliese but warn that the mission could take many years as the astronauts will first have to learn the Mackem accent to avoid having their heads immediately kicked in.

Hobbs added: "I imagine the moment of first contact with the alien race will be a lot like the ending of Close Encounters if it had been set during a stag weekend in South Shields."

"Whay aye canny lad, woar spilt mah roked fuuel?"
