- Of course it's quotable! It's the Clone High dudes! -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:36 2
  - oh, man. i hadn't looked up those names but they were familiar somehow - prayformojo Jul 9, 08:38 1
    - I think the reason I enjoy Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs so much is because it's the family friendly version of Clone High. -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:38

        hipsters, I think. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:40 3
        
        They looked more like a Japanese anime gang. -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:41 2

LYC: Watched Alien from the Bluray anthology. Everything they said about the transfer quality was right, it was *pristine*. I give the movie a B- - oblique Jul 9, 08:31
B2 polls - currently eating a dark cherry yogurt. Meadowlark Lemon - knew the sport, couldn't place the team. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 9, 08:30 3

- for a start, you should link to here -- nm - Roger More Jul 9, 08:30
Roswell poll. In your gut, do you believe the thing that crashed at Roswell was alien or human-made? - loosilu Jul 9, 08:29 77
- If I had to make a bet on it, I'd say it's not aliens -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 08:41
- Human. probably Skunkworks -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 9, 08:40
- [deleted]
- Human. There may be alien life, but it hasn't visited Earth or probably even our solar system. - TWuG Jul 9, 08:37
- Human. I also don't believe in aliens. (nm) - spamlet Jul 9, 08:37
- I presume some teenage space alien was drinking and flying. -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:35
- Anything's possible, but I have to go with human for now. -- nm - mara Jul 9, 08:35
- I don't believe in aliens. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 08:34 52
  - I believe there's intelligent life out there, but we're not being visited by anyone -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 08:38
  - I have no idea if they exist., but I don't believe we've had contact with aliens at Roswell or anywhere. - ty97 Jul 9, 08:38 2
    - What do you mean "no other contact"? People are abducted from random trailer parks every week! nm - Jim Jul 9, 08:39 1
      - I'm disappointed in this post. - ty97 Jul 9, 08:43
  - I believe in alien life but don't think it's ever been anywhere close to this solar system - zork Jul 9, 08:37 1
    - this -- nm - decline Jul 9, 08:44
  - really? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 9, 08:35
  - thats ok, I do not believe in physics. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 9, 08:35 5
    - I don't believe in the internet. -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:36 4
      - doesn't matter - znufrii Jul 9, 08:36 3
        
        If the world bent to your will, wouldn't the Mets win more? -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:37 2
        
        like I said, "warped and twisted" -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 08:40
        
        everything comes with a price. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 9, 08:39
  - *blinks* - oblique Jul 9, 08:35
  - this surprises me. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:35 37
    - I agree with the caveat that there is probably "intelligent" life out in the universe somewhere - Reagen Jul 9, 08:36 10
      - this is where I sit. - znufrii Jul 9, 08:40
      - i just think the idea of us being the only life in the *universe* is both (a) depressing and (b) against the odds. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:38 8
        
        I agree. - Mel Profit Jul 9, 08:40 2
        
        what makes us so deserving of being the only intelligence around? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:45 1
        
        If everyone always got exactly what they deserved, this would be a different world, or shall I say universe, indeed -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 08:55
        
        the universe doesn't care if we're depressed. :) -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:40 4
        
        i'm just like "really? Mankind on Earth is the *best* the universe can spit out? really?" -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:41 3
        
        Heh. -- nm - bc/nc Jul 9, 08:44 2
        
        how conceited does that make us, when you think about it. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:46 1
        
        and if you follow the God belief, why would he make only one species in His/Her likeness and only here? Dollmakers/watchmakers don't make only one -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:49
    - There's been zero evidence. - nubby Jul 9, 08:36 25
      - There's plenty of evidence of unexplainable flying objects. It might not be air-tight evidence, but it's evidence nonetheless. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 9, 08:48 4
        
        Maybe it's just me, but I consider covert military operations to be the more logical explanation than aliens in that case. - ty97 Jul 9, 08:50 1
        
        and why do they have to kidnap thousands of cows and guys named Bubba? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:52
        
        Random but related pet peeve: When people use UFO as a synonym for "alien aircraft." - Andie Jul 9, 08:50
        
        Fine. Amend to "scientifically-acceptable evidence". - nubby Jul 9, 08:49
      - How do you explain Michael Jackson then?? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 9, 08:43
      - The difference between God and aliens is that God believers insist that God is intimately concerned with humankind; therefore we would expect to see - mara Jul 9, 08:39 15
        
        I think the main difference is that the existence of aliens is falsifiable, whereas the existence of God is not. - nubby Jul 9, 08:41 14
        
        how is it falsifiable? You can't search the whole universe. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:42 12
        
        ....yet. -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 08:52
        
        We can't now, but theoretically it's possible to do so. -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 08:43
        
        plus lots of people have brought forth what they call evidence of God/miracles/etc. -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:43 2
        
        We can't hold nubby to other people's interpretations of faith, only his own. - ty97 Jul 9, 08:45 1
        
        but it'd be fun. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:46
        
        If aliens exist, there is evidence to be found. - nubby Jul 9, 08:43 6
        
        So your falsifiable statement should be "Aliens do not exist." -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:47
        
        how does one prove the proof that God exists? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:44 3
        
        I *just* said that it can't be done. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 08:47
        
        He never said you could. - spamlet Jul 9, 08:46 1
        
        :) -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 08:49
        
        maybe someday, but it's not like we know what's currently going on in the far reaches of the universe. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:44
        
        you have no faith in aliens -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 08:42
      - sure, no evidence, but you don't think it's probable? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:39 1
        
        It's like string theory. It's just conjecture until there's evidence. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 08:41
      - agreed on no evidence, but I still think it's possible (if not probable). -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:37
- If they're smart enough to get here they're not going to crash into a planet. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 9, 08:34 6
  - "So let me get this straight... You had the whole damn empty Universe to joyride in and you mange to hit a PLANET!?" -- nm - Alien Exploration Team Supervisor Jul 9, 08:39 2
    - this is kind of how Waiting for the Galactic Bus starts - znufrii Jul 9, 08:49
    - in a US secret testing space no less! -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:40
  - If we're smart enough to go to the moon, there's no chance we'll overlook a leaky O-Ring in the fuel tank system - Will Hunting Jul 9, 08:37 1
    - Oh, so now the spaceship is mechanical instead of biological. Thank you, Mr. Science. -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:38
  - probably rowdy alien teenagers - prayformojo Jul 9, 08:35
- human. As much as I'd love to believe otherwise, I just don't buy it -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 08:34
- I really don't know. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 9, 08:33
- [deleted] 1
  - heh. I fell asleep to that yesterday afternoon - oblique Jul 9, 08:32
- human. these UFO and USO people freak me the hell out. I want to slap that one dude I see on t.v. all the time too -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 08:31 1
  - that UFO Hunters guy that wears the UFO hat and aviator glasses. jacktard -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 08:32
- both. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 9, 08:30

- Alien -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 08:30
- Alien. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 9, 08:30

- Not here but did you see the article on Gigom? -- (link) - oblique Jul 9, 08:28 1
  - Thanks. I saw about it on Consumerist and may check it out. - spamlet Jul 9, 08:35
Have they looked at the God particle with a blacklight yet? -- nm - CrankYanker Jul 9, 08:27 2
- "Hey, man, I think I see one." -- nm - nubby, stoned out of his mind Jul 9, 08:28 1
  - "A double Higgs! WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!!" -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 08:37
Check out the passive-aggressive poll on the left. - nubby Jul 9, 08:27
We've entered the sports wasteland. Football needs to start already - prayformojo Jul 9, 08:27 2
- TV wasteland too. bring on big brother. -- nm - amanda Jul 9, 08:32 1
  - yeah, all we've got is Burn Notice and SYTYCD -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 9, 08:38
I'm going to try some grilled paella with jerk sauce for dinner tonight. We'll see how it goes - CQ Jul 9, 08:26 1
- Do you get that from the... dammit! -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:30
What is the next movie you will see in a theatre? It can be something already playing or something coming soon. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:26 17

- Brave or Moonrise Kingdom, outside change for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - znufrii Jul 9, 08:43
- The Amazing Spider Man, I think -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 08:40
- Spider-Man or To Rome with Love. -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:38 4
  - I'd choose the latter first. And the Dark Knight holiday next week. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 9, 08:41 3
    - You'd choose Spider-Man over To Rome with Love? Sometimes, we are very different people. -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:42 2
      - No. Spider-Man is the former. To Rome with Love is the latter. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 9, 08:47 1
        
        I blame Dave Rygalski for asking Lane's mom if he could take Lane to the prom at the same time as I read that. -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:50
- DKR midnight, but I might see To Rome With Love before then. -- nm - Jelly Jul 9, 08:37
