    You are an alien living unnoticed among Earthlings.
    When you report back to your planet what will you say is the STRANGEST thing you witnessed during your stay!

    I'd be reporting that the weird bunch in order to honour a god, cut down a perfectly good tree, plant it in their house somewhere, hang balls and lights on it and then get the neighbours to admire it!

    Them there Earthlings are all potty! :pac:

    We humans wouldn't spot an alien even if it walked into our living rooms covered in flouresent paint and stole our christams tree from right under our noses .

    I'd imagine something like that would be easy enough to figure out after a while though. Especially if they paid enough attention to the road to get a drivers license.

    I think the idea of millions and millions of people arguing and killing each over some short hairy bloke getting nailed to two planks of wood 2000 years ago would be pretty hard to beat on the "Strange-o-Meter"™.

    Delving deeper into the whole religion thing and finding two sets of people on a corner of this island who only recently stopped killing each other over an argument about the same short, hairy blokes mother getting the roide or not would also be pretty hard to fathom I'd imagine.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,567 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    Strange lot these earthlings. they think they own the planet, when really the white mice do.

    And they still haven't copped on to the message the dolphins are giving them.....

    Still, its a nice planet and all but you can't stand in the way of progress.

    They use cloths to cover their bodies.
    Many take pleasure in damaging their bodies.
    Others damage their bodies with displays of metal and ink.
    They think they are masters of the universe despite their lowly status.
    They are primitive and prone to violence.
    They only have one heart leaving them vunerable.
    The males have an obsession with the females' most prominent gland.


    Humans are stupid and they die easy.

    They probably wouldn't understand:
    The strange ritual of covering their skin in oil and exposing it to the ultraviolet rays of the sun, then complaining when they get burnt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Not to mention the expense and mass consumption of alcohol to make you ' feel better ' which disables normal function mode and somtimes leads to an occurence called ' projectile vomiting ' which then leads to a situation were you have to take pills to make you ' feel better ' and get you back to your original state of ' normality '


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 226 ✭✭Ajos


    If they're really alien, it would probably be something like "Why do they keep converting Oxygen into Carbon Dioxide? Madness! Everybody knows Nitrogen is tastier, and they have a lot more of it!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    Hundreds of religions all claiming to be the one true religion.

    Our monetary system.

    Our governments.

    Our entertainment must seem pretty weird, especially our sense of humour.

    The fact that we destroy our own planet and are using up resources at such a fast rate.

    On planet earth there is a species known as the Irish race, a formerly primitive race who has been knocking the sh1te out their nearest neighbours for 800yrs, however the accept their own rule as best even when said rulers are evil, corrupt people. Colonel Zutroy of Quadrand 11b I can report that the Irish races are about to make an evolutionary step forward this Friday 5th which will be a big a step forward since these particular earthlings stopped relying on potatoes horriblus as their main source of food.

    The current Irish humans are experiencing mildly warm weather and most are having trouble with it, the may not cope well with our plans to terraform Planet 3 x sun using their insatiable demand for oil to suit your Lordships lizard like appearance in which case we will have the amazon desert ready by 2050.

    They cut down hard wood trees which are valuable to their environment, make boxes out of them, and then put them back into the ground to rot.

    A staggering percentage of this intelligent life form believe they can send telepathic messages which travel faster than the speed of light across the galaxies, to a strange unknown entity.

    Most bizarre is their inability to separate fiction from fact. A lot believe in paranormal events to which there is no evidence and no eye witnesses, yet they let these fantasies rule their life.

    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.

    Indeed ,fellow invisible alien.I visited an area populated by myriads of earthlings who peered,jeered, roared,moaned..cheered at two opposing groups of their fellows who spent 90 minutes[had a rest period]attempting to put a sphere into a netted receptacle.Despite the sweat,blood and tears they failed miserably.Seems both groups have separate followers who are quite happy to watch the activity again for which they impart a large amounts of their currency!They even become quite violent towards each other.They say it beats watching paint dry, whatever that means.:confused:

    Them there Earthlings cut down yet another perfectly good plant, but instead this time of hanging coloured balls on it and planting it in their house with a false star on top - no - this time they chop it up, roll the bits, wrapping it up tightly, stick it in the entrance to their breathing apparatus and then set fire to it!

    Weird or wot! :confused:

    Furthermore, the active substance within the said plant is so toxic a single pure drop on the tongue can kill a human.

    They'd probably scoff at the arrogant belief displayed by humanity that the Earth is special and perhaps unique and that life is only found on our world.
