It feels like Friday all of a sudden...is it just me?

A very distinct Friday sensation going here.

Welcome our jellyfish overlords

ooh the 3rd planet is to hot for life?

Why? What evidence do you have?

Juts because earths inhabitants have adapted to out climate and ecosystem, doesn't mean that's it.

There may be super inteligent beings out the living in molten lava, "beathing" liquid nitrogen, looking at earth going, nah, nothing could live there, to bloody cold and look at all that toxic water.

But I guess we are the centre of the Universe after all.

God provides! When we've completely fished out the oceans here we can go there to harvest and eat the aliens!

leads to the unavoidable conclusion that intelligent life is going extinct already.

Er... Land-dwelling lifeforms could exist in seven times Earth's gravity. They would just evolve to take the extra forces into account. If (or WHEN!!) our gravity-loving overlords arrive on our humble speck of rock, they would feel nice and light and, eventually, start to weaken - as Earth astro/cosmonauts do in space - thus making it easy for Earth's resistance fighters to regain control.

Don't know the maths for water-based sentients, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they've got big teeth and eat Loch Ness Monsters for brekkie!

Nice one...

Has no-one else heard of the broadcasts made by SETI?

What about the radio and TV transmissions that leak off the surface of our horribly dry planet all the time?

If they are less than 50 years behind us technologically (or ahead of us) then they've picked those up already.

So the Bebo stuff will go completely unnoticed. They're already on their way...

It's always fun to see how everyone seems to assume that life *must* be of the water-and-carbon-based variety. Hey, there couldn't be intelligent life there anyway as it's mainly a waterworld, how would bipeds survive?

Needless to say, the probability of any lifeform co-existing with us in the same timeframe is pretty low, now they would have to communicate using the same physical media (and the same sensory systems). So all in all, the chances of poor aliens being hit by Bebo spam is negligible. And it's that much crap that Beboers won't be slinging at their earthly siblings (including me). So carry on, by all means! Actually, we should probably send the whole Bebo servers in outer space, to, you know, increase the chances of the message reaching its alien target. Maybe Facebook, Myspace, Youtube, Twitter et al. want to join in (or "out", in this case)?

Yes, Bebo won't be the first announcement that we're over here that they receive. It may well settle their debate about intelligent life, however.

Mine's a pirate ship for ye vast ocean his noodly goodness has seen fit to provide us with. Ramen.

Obviously it's Friday, Journalists lunch (15 mins longer than BOFH,), back to office, knock off a quick article before home time.

Excellent. I love sushi!

If it's anything like the one on Naboo then I suggest we attack first, wipe all the slimy beggars out, and start with a clean slate. How's that Genesis device coming on...?

Given that it's a foregone conclusion that any intelligent being no matter how benign and enlightened would be driven into a murderous genocidal rage by Nicole and her like, I suspect the exact length of our remaining time pivots on whether they have already have a vast interstellar invasion force prepped and ready to go. With a bit of luck, I may be already have shuffled from this mortal coil by the time the first dropships land and spew forth enraged death-ray wielding tentaclospawn who systemically reduce the biosphere to a steaming puddle of protoplasmic gloop before stamping around a bit, shouting angrily, relieving themselves and buggering off home. And you all thought the budget was bad news.

Chuck Norris would have the lot of 'em - tentacles, magma-breath, 2G-defying muscles, you name it.

As we all know anyone who uses bebo is highly intelligent represent the feelings of a large section of humanity and every one is very intrested in what they say, i feel that this is a great way to greet our new alien overlords, it may even get the more intelligent ones of us taken off to "a better place"
