Friendly Aliens.

al22

All the above from the point they must be as we are and think the same way.

Se aliens (people) in a real life. There is a plenty of space on the Earth.
Why they move to Ireland?
They need money mostly? not a land or water :-)
Some aliens from te Space may not need a natura resources at all/ But what?

There are travellers in the Universe who can survive billions of years without water, food, heat etc and can not be killed with cold and heat. These travellers are with us and everywhere.

It is the viruses. They can travel and so on/ There are no dead viruses at all/ If we destroy tem? they able to restore and/or reassemble into other viruses from the parts available, sometimes into unknown new viruses.

They can leave on the sun or in a very cod and dark spaces and will be not destroyed.

They can hange our cells and we will reproduce something biological, may be a new species, unknown to us.

Etc....

Why do aliens rarely wear pants?

Probably for the same reason the keep anal probing people, their sexual deviants.

Think of it this way; Of all the species on earth, we are the only one that wears clothing. Wearing clothes is the odd trait, not nakedness.

Since we lost our fur we need clothes for warmth and sun protection,and standing upright has exposed our genitals which also need protection.

I believe Aliens have been here in the past. For instance, who really built the Pyramids, Stonehenge, O'Connell Bridge,,,not to mention a certain bog standard house on Gorse Hill?
(Or more recently, who do you think designed Mick Wallace's wardrobe?)

Humans?

Hardly.

Seriously, if there are Aliens studying the human race on their 'Discovery Channel' today, those scaly Plutonians must be having a great laugh at what they see.

Isis - lopping off heads off fellow humans because they believe in a different sky-fairy, and destroying thousands of years of their own culture. (This of course would be shown after the little Alien kiddies are in bed)
Humans hating humans from other countries, simply because bad stuff happened a thousand years before they were born.
Humans killing other humans, just because they are a different color.
Humans hating themselves (as in Ireland)

The Thing was a friendly sort of chap. All it ever wanted to do was to get to know us... on a molecular level.

I don't think we need fur for sun protection, we sweat and clothes just get in the way of that. Clothing at it's most basic (south American jungle tribes) seem to be just to stop your lad slapping around all over the place.

When we went to colder climates we needed to stay warm but it's actually quite surprising how quickly you can adapt to very low temperatures. The heating was gone in my house during the snow and cold, getting up and into the shower was painful but once I got out of the shower I immediately adapted to the cold and could stand around in the nip without too much discomfort. A day like today you could run around in the nip all day long, the activity of hunting would keep you plenty warm.

My point being clothes don't have a huge practical advantage when combating weather. Outside of the extremes of winter, we could survive without them up to a point. I think we started using clothes to display social standing and prestige.

When Aliens crash land it's always in 1950s America or Britain the plot is always the same

There's always a 'Dr. Carrington' type with a clipped British accent and an Army Captain (it must be a Captain for some reason) with a bunch of educated hangers-on... 'Boffins' they were called, in white coats and horn-rimmed glasses rushing to and fro from a mobile Laboratory.
One of these MUST be female, black haired of course (because 1950s blondes weren't Boffin material?) and she's in the past had a thing for Dr. Carrington but nowadays is having it off with a newspaper reporter called Dave or Richard. It is she, who, in a moment of weakness with Dave / Richard, gets the Press involved and all those flashing bulbs scare the bejasus out of our friendly Alien just as it's about to tell us how to.....before taking to its scaly heels, only to be plugged by a sturdy no nonsense Marine corporal, or a five foot feck - all wiry Cockney private and we'll never know what secrets he/she/it was about to impart to Dr. Carrington and the world
The said Alien (who is, of course, highly Radio-Active) and speaks great English with an American accent.

Its dying words are spoken in its own language into the ear of said female boffin who bravely flings herself across its dying body, caring not a whin for the Radio-Activeness, but she somehow understands and recoils on her stiletto heels in horror and shock.
Later, when the Alien has breathed its last and she had shed a tear (for she was secretly in love all along with the Alien and no one copped on)...nobody, but nobody, not even Dr. Carrington, or Dave / Richard, or the handsome, kind, well meaning but rawhide tough Army Captain can prize from her what those final Alien words meant.
Soon afterwards she gives up Boffinry, enters a Nunnery and takes a vow of silence under a very strict Reverend Mother, who, as it turns out is Irish and hails from County Roscommon...or Sligo?...played by either Anna Manahan of someone else from the Abbey.

Lots of animals do, hermit crabs and insect larva

Then again we don't have fangs or claws. But hands means we can use sticks and stones. Which means we can take out most predators while staying out of their reach.

Without clothes we can chase down most animals in the heat of the African sun. With clothes we can live anywhere including the Arctic.

Flexibility is one of our key attributes. Though cephalopodas have us beat on that one. Odd thing is that they don't have personality. An octopus can behave differently on different days. Perhaps a lesson about ET.

Another lesson would be that we share DNA with the octopus and we kinda turned out different. So I'm guessing that ET won't be a humanoid biped.
