From the unseen frontiers.

Wondering what H.G.Wells would think about it were he alive today!!!

It would be real fun though meeting an alien. But how will we recognize an alien? Why can't an alien be absolutely unlike the living beings on Earth? Why can he/she not be made of rock, sand or metal? Actually why should it be a he or a she either? Why can the alien life survive without water or oxygen? Why do they have to be in the visible spectrum also or the audio wavelengths that we know of? So, in principle, there can exist life that we know nothing about and have no means to find out, as yet. And by the extension of the same, there exists a strong possibility that such a life form could be sitting in my verandah looking over my shoulder, without me knowing about its existence. Is that a scary thought?

There was this nasty joke that did the rounds when I was in the college. An alien comes down to earth and meets this gorgeous Blonde. He shakes her hand and obviously charmed does not release the grip. The blonde is excited that she has met an alien and they both engage in a conversation talking about things on earth and after about a couple of hours, Blonde, talking all this while, tells him how sex happens on earth. Then she asks out of curiousity, "So how is it done in your planet?"

Releasing the grip now, the alien replies "By shaking hands".

Enjoy your space travel.

Actually, Truman, I think human imagination is limitless. Yes, you're right. It is a lonnnnng discussion.

I used to think [when I was in my teens] that aliens were invisible, peeping into our windows as we go to sleep. Pervs.

Aliens might be the dust that we can't see.
