 | |  | | ![]() If someone owned us, or the Earth, they would have come calling by now, wanting something from us. If aliens have come here in large numbers, I find it more likely that since we exist today, they packed up and left when we evolved, or they didn't stay very long. They also could have lived here, and the colony was abandoned back with the dinosaurs. | |  | |  |

Well, we did establish diplomatic relations with black people, for example. Two or three centuries ago they were little more than the hen, and this state of affairs "functioned", in the same sense that the hen does.
Oh, and thanks for the link. (What was this man smoking, anyway?) | |  | |  |

| | | | ![]() Fort was... well...... way out there. Though I've read that some of the things he put in his books he didn't actually believe in, even though he made them up. Like a super-sargasso sea type thing, where things that disappear go, and then they fall back to Earth or something. | | | | |

I wish I knew! I note that there are many who recognize his writings as being the "basis" (used fictionally) for the X-files (it has even been written that he is the "spiritual grandfather" of Fox Mulder.)
The Wikipedia article on him says much, including that he can be credited with the terms "teleportation" and "ball lightning".

And well... I read all his books long ago, RJ. I'm not saying it needs to be anybody's cup of catnip tea.

| | | | Listen, aliens could control the earth. Heck, there could be dinosaur astronauts hunkered down on saturn who still have the surrender documents that left them in possession on the earth.
which they currently control through economic means (only taking stuff like atomic fuel and self contained beef bag factories)
that's actually an awesome idea for a book. if you use it, remember that i wrote about it here first | | | | |

Edit: someone read my mind. Jar Jar Bing just entered the stage. | | | | |
