    Would they be better off having communication with dolphins and whale's rather than us ?

    No! They would be better off talking to the Mice!

    That sound's nice, a skate on the ice...
    Some ray of sunshine, skate and ray will have their say. ...

    Getting very fishy....

    It all depends on whether they met Enda Kenny, David Norris and Leo Varadkar before they became pally with the whales and dolphins.

    I can imagine them running like fcuk from Kildare Street and not looking around until they reached the Zoological Gardens in the Park. Then one turns to his mates and says: "Jaysus, I don't give a sh*te how cheap the pint is in the Dail bar. I'm not going in through them mad aliens again".

    Maybe the botanical gardens would be a better idea...

    They can stop off at Glassnevin graveyard and try and communicate with the dead...

    Then have a pint in the gravedigger s

    i'd say they would attempt communication with most of the mammals, wouldn't expect much from cattle or minke whales, but i'd say gorillas and orangutangs would be decent conversationalists.

    we'd have to keep them away from the squirrels tho, them shifty little baxtards would probably hang us out to dry

    The giant squid overlords would definitely have the final say.

    What if they don't understand binary code? If they are that advanced they would be using quantum computing which has more states than Binary.

    Reverse the situation. If you arrived at a planet with one advanced dominant lifeforms which tried to talk to you would you bother trying to talk to other non-sentient species?

    Its to be believed that binary code would be the only way to communicate with anyone, as its a universal code for science speak as you will!

    Humans are stupid, If Aliens visited earth we would start shooting at them in fear.

    Its outdated, on or off pfffffft on and off at the same time is what its all about these days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,299 ✭✭✭✭BloodBath


    Exactly my point. There could be even more than 3 states with advanced quantum computing.
