    A super advanced civilisation from the other side of the universe sends an exploration crew to study our planet. They marvel at some of the highly organised societies they find here, like ants, bees, and dolphins. But they are puzzled at the anomolies and oddities of a race called humans. They make a list of what they see...

    A stream of metal boxes being propelled by ancient technology along a road. Most have one occupant, but room for three more, yet all travel in the same direction, using three times more precious oil reserves than they need to.

    Observe people on African continent walking miles each day for a container of clean water, while millions of gallons of clean water used every day to wash above ancient-technology machines.

    People inhale poisonous smoke, then breathe out and poison those around them

    Some wear strange plastic things on their faces, supported by the forces of gravity on their noses and ears

    What else is on their list????

    Mary Harney's weight references are the new 'Yore ma!' around here, except they're worse, they should be treated with even more contempt, I'm fúcking sick of reading them, they're the anti-funny.

    Mary Harney would eat ET, Mork & Mindy, The Darleks and the cast of Star Trek in the one sandwhich.

    Clearly they arent super advanced if they came to study a lesser civilisation on earth.

    I reckon they would like Susan Boyle though.

    Why dont we all DO something about africa then instead of whinging about it.

    For us to co-exist in a world where people are starving to death is a disgrace.

    I'm going over to volunteer this year. If we all did something we'd make a start.

    A U T O G E D D O N
    An excerpt from the epic poem by
    Heathcote Williams
    from Whole Earth Review, Fall 1987: 26-29.
    http://cfu.freehostia.com/Members/colin/autogeddon/
    IN 1885 Karl Benz constructed the first automobile.
    It had three wheels, like an invalid car,
    And ran on alcohol, like many drivers.

    Since then about seventeen million people have been killed by them
    In an undeclared war;
    And the whole of the rest of the world is in danger of being run over
    Due to squabbles about their oil.

    If an alien was to hover a few hundred yards above the planet
    It could be forgiven for thinking
    That cars were the dominant life-form,
    And that human beings were a kind of ambulatory fuel cell:
    Injected when the car wished to move off,
    And ejected when they were spent.
    ...

    THIS is half-way house.
    Half the world’s paychecks are auto-related,
    Half the world’s resources are auto-devoted,
    And half the world will be involved in an auto-accident
    At some time during their life.
    ...

    But of course,
    If you’re conceived in a car as many are.
    If you first fúcked in a car as many have.
    If you go to work in a car,
    And if you derive most of your pleasure, food and sustenance via cars,
    You’re going to defend them to the death.

    Numbers dead have risen to 25 million since/
