Winning Message to Space I won the Space Show's first ever message to space competition. There are six this year.

Well said. :-) More to the point - - if our amino acids have the wrong chirality, they couldn't even digest us. Imagine being trapped on a desert island with water and 10,000 pounds of NutraSweet. Posted by Bill White at December 22, 2005 12:24 PM
> Imagine being trapped on a desert island with water and 10,000 pounds of NutraSweet. Bill screamed in terror, as he looked into the saucer and saw an army of 10,000 Martian fashion models, brandishing their dessert forks. Posted by at December 22, 2005 12:42 PMSam - Nice try, but now they'll just institute a selective-breeding program to create a tasty human. ;^) Posted by Jay Manifold at December 22, 2005 02:50 PMThat's a pretty subjective opinion, don't you think? Have you tried us with a side of fava beans, and a nice Chianti? Posted by Rand Simberg at December 22, 2005 03:05 PMAll my information is from Eating Raoul. Don't tell the aliens that we taste good though. Posted by Sam Dinkin at December 22, 2005 03:10 PMHeh. (Well, somebody had to say it. ;-p) Posted by Barbara Skolaut at December 22, 2005 04:44 PMSam - Good one! Dr. Sagan would have been proud. Posted by Phil Smith at December 22, 2005 05:08 PMBetter yet, tell them some do taste good. Then we declare war on the aliens. Provide passage for the human shields. Once lunch is over, we let everybody in on the joke. Posted by ken anthony at December 22, 2005 09:54 PMAny suggestions for next month's entry? "We make terrible slaves"? "Any suggestions for next month's entry? " -- Order Vi8g@ now, me love you long time. Posted by Josh Reiter at December 23, 2005 12:25 PMHELP! We're stupid and we can't get up! Posted by SpaceCat at December 23, 2005 04:07 PMWe locked the keys in all of our spaceships. It was a radio dare. We dare you to bring a slim jim. Posted by Sam Dinkin at December 23, 2005 07:36 PMNext message to space: "Heh, indeed." Posted by Alan K. Henderson at December 24, 2005 09:42 PMOh, I dunno...I've had numerous women say "Eat me".... Posted by Sharpshooter at December 27, 2005 06:46 AMNext month? How about "If you think you've been scared before, come visit. You'll find out what fear really means." Posted by c. lee at December 27, 2005 01:11 PMAmmendment: Human flavour is based on level of intelligence. Intelligence sours the flavour. For our finest tasting sample contact G.W.Bush @ 1600... Posted by Jeffrey Denomme at December 29, 2005 08:46 AMHow about "If you're a hostile race, theres no need for you to waste your time. We're coping just fine killing ourselves." Posted by Nemor at December 29, 2005 07:32 PM"Hi! Visit Beautiful Earth! Please come soon, as we are getting a bit peckish." Posted by Randolph Martens at January 4, 2006 12:30 AMHopefully the meaning is not lost in the translation. Did you know that "terrible" is also a French word for example? With a slight difference: it means "terrific"... Posted by someone at January 4, 2006 04:31 AM>Did you know that "terrible" is also a French word for example? With a slight difference: it means "terrific"... No it doesn't It means "terrible" ;) Posted by L. Crusader at January 4, 2006 08:27 AMPost a comment |
