Don't probe me, bro! [Aliens]

TiB

Everyone knows something about aliens! Be it your favorite TV show



Or that movie you saw with your friends



Or maybe your cousins neighbors friend who TOTALLY got abducted by an alien I'm serious you guys



So put on your tinfoil hats and cover your butts! It's alien time!

Silmaril

Why is Aliens and Alien not in the OP.


Massive fail.

I tried watching that new Discovery Channel show, Curiousity: http://curiosity.discovery.com/#mkcpgn=semcur1

It was talking about Alien Invasions, and it was terrible.

TiB

Well, Silmaril, this is the place to share those things

TiB

Yes, LTM. I watched that too.

Then I had TERRIBLE nightmares

Eyes exploding has that affect on me

This thread should only be about one thing, which do you prefer: Alien or Aliens?

Prometheus, the Alien prequel being directed by Ridley Scott has me so damn excited you guys. Not only is he one of my fave directors and it's a franchise I love, but that cast is amaaazing. Charlize Theron, Noomi rapace, idris elba, Michael fassbender, guy pierce? Yes please

Squall

did aliens have john hurt y/n

TiB

So you are saying it is alien time?

SimBen

While the rules of probability state that there are almost certainly alien species living somewhere in the universe, they also state we almost definitely will never become aware of their existence (or them of ours).

Fuck you science, making the most frustrating possibility the likeliest.

I turned it off before they got to the actual invading. the people they interviewed about rationales for invasion were very off-putting.

Stephen Hawking is afraid of aliens conquering us

SimBen

Also there is nothing about Earth that would ever possibly make it prime invasion land to any alien species technologically capable of actually doing it.

It would be like humans invading Central Park for the precious flea honey of their ant hives.

TiB

When the experts on that episode kept talking about the best ways to attack us, all I could think was "SHUSH YOU GUYS WE ARE SENDING THIS INTO SPACE THEY CAN HEAR YOU GOD"

SimBen

The only reason they'd want to kill us is us being dicks.

Oh shit we are fucked.

TiB

then I remembered that was retarded

It bears repeating, because its so goddamned strange, Stephen Hawking is afraid of aliens conquering us

so how long before this turns into another Mass Effect thread

Planning a camping trip to the desert soon

Apparently the desert is a fine place to see some creepy lights

SimBen

Also this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record

is the second thing we attached to a probe to send into space for possibly aliens to find someday.

Let's play a game: look at those engravings on the back of it and try to figure out what they're trying to explain without reading the article.

Now imagine you're an alien and have no frame of reference for any of those symbols.

What was so hard about putting a bunch of pictures in a box, maybe put a manually operated record player in there for some sounds? Why you gotta make it so hard for aliens, Carl Sagan?

TiB

If they want to find an intelligent species unlike their own they had best work for it gosh darn it

Edit: Ah God, Geek. Noooooo!

We're in the pipe. Five by Five.

SimBen

Also if they somehow get it up and running (keep in mind that most human beings have a hard time putting up shelves with a manual written in their own language), they'll find pictures including this:



There are other pictures too but they are irrelevant. Just look at it.

Hey Bale, have you ever been mistaken for a man?

SimBen

We want aliens to see Auric Goldfinger enjoying a grilled cheese sandwich.

PwnanObrien

I watched Paul the other day.

It was good.

Also, if we ever do find evidence of real life aliens (which we won't) the news seems least likely to break on something called The History Channel.

They are aiming for the History Channel demographic, for some reason. Which would be fine, excepting that the show seems to suck.
