According to apparently really really really smart scientists, there is 'conclusive evidence' that there are really really probably no other life forms on any other planets in our galaxy. I don't know expactly how they managed to come to this conclusion, but this makes me sad. Because, (get ready for a rare piece of actual information here) even if there is life in other galaxies, we are too far away from them, around something like 200,000 lightyears, to ever recieve any transmission ever sent. In fact, the article declares that there may be thousands of races out there, and they've tried contacting us, but we've only been around for 2,000, much less 200,000 years.
Sucks for you alien guys. But it sucks for me too, because, I always wanted to meet an alien. Like, would it be really small, and green, with big eyes, like the classic alien? Or would it look more like a Pokemon thing? Random big ones and small ones. Would they have pets? Would those pets have teeth? What if they couldn't see color? Then you could teach it like 'this is yellow!' and point to a blue. What if they
were blue? Like, a superintellegent shade of the color blue! (Yes, I stole that from Doug Adams) But still, how cool would that be? You could teach it to sing the "I'm Blue" song. Remember that one? That song still bugs me.
But unfortunately, no aliens for me. Though I suppose it's a good thing if they were like the Independence Day aliens or like, the Zerg. That would suck. Let's not mee the Zerg. The aliens should be more like....hamsters. Yes. Cute little fuzzy things. Towels! Living towels. Yes. Like towlie. Only they don't get high. They'd have their own drugs. Not sure how I got onto the subject of alien drugs, but whatever.
Which brings me to my next point: Never ever try to count those little holes in high school room's ceilings. Especially in geometry class. It makes you think of the stuff up there. Probably something you don't want to do.
