Send a message to Aliens?

HelloFromEarth.net | Gliese 581d | National Science Week 2009

Honestly the amount of levels that this is entirely stupid on is just amazing....

You could look at this as the peak of human ingenuity, science, creativity and exploration to reach out to other galaxies, OR it is the pinacle of craziness of the stupid human ego that thinks another planet will receive our messages, understand what the fuck is being talked about, and actually care...

But alas if you feel like totally wasting 5 minutes of your life then think up something witty to send to our far off green neighbors. The messages are being beamed out in 6 days by the looks of it..

Oh, and if you want to waste even more than 5 minutes, try reading a sample of the other messages that are going out from other people.... One even says "welcome to earth", hello it's being beamed light years away! God I hope aliens don't understand English.... We are going to come across like total douches!

I'm sending them a Youtube link to watch Charlie Zelenoff in action. :cool:
Hope they have a compatible browser.

Personally I think that if there are others in the universe, then that is something worth knowing. So I see some merit in this particular scheme you point out, though yes there is a lot of potential for silliness.

We do not want any more Aliens on this planet. There are too many already and they are taking over the world.

Our first ever radio wave broadcast was of a wooden ventriloquists dummy having a conversation with someone on air that was years and years ago and will reach (((them))) before all this new lot of stuff going out.

Say there are Greys and Reptoids hovering around or in earth...

I wonder if they get home sick for their favorite TV shows? Don't tell me that they have no sense of humor, I don't believe it for one billion nano-seconds.

Even if their Pepsi equvialent is snake piss flavored and the word "pink" is their favorite joke, they have to have some culture, right?

What about different dialects? Do they have a version of Cockney Rhyming Slang?

I wonder...

Yeah. You're right.

Nothing we can say will sound as foolish as an episode of Who's Line Is It Anyway?

Tell them that I want to come home. That is all.
