Residents of South Florida, text!
Why are you still reading? There's only 12 days left to send your text-messages to a prospective alien civilization via NASA. Act now or miss your chance to make first contact!
An Australian science magazine is organizing a drive to send 160-character text messages to a distant planet believed to be hospitable to the same conditions for life that allow you, a carbon-based heap of catabolic processes, to sit at a computer browsing news websites.
All messages have to be submitted via Website by Monday, Aug. 24. NASA will then convert them into a binary series of blips and pauses and hurl them via radio signal toward the gigantic planet Gliese 581d. Expected arrival time: December 2029.

I would text if you are pats or jets fans f u. If they are bills or lions fans I would say sorry
HardKoreXXXNew MemberHopefully the texts don't reach them, because they'll probably blow our sorry asses to stardust.

We could be stronger then them.
opfinisticNew MemberI think a simple 'You're next!' would be fun to send. The aliens would be thinking 'Next? For what? Invasion? Genocide? Or......gulp........Universal Health Care?'

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

Do you think something like "take me to your leader" would be original enough?
I just thought that one up myself, just now. Waddaya think?
