Asteroid Passing Earth in Five Minutes

[DiscoStu]

I have it on very good authority that this has been known about for some time and it is not an asteroid. That is just the cover story put out by NASA.

It is actually believed to be a von Neumann or Bracewell probe from another non terrestial intelligent civilisation.

These probes gather information on other civilisations.

Dammit, I forgot to bring my tin-foil hat to work today

How do you know what they are called if they belong to extraterrestrials?

And I thought aliens had names like Mogon, Glarglebutt and Zeitghost, not Bracewell.

Divvie! von Neumann and Bracewell are the humans who, thinking about how any civilisation would explore the galaxy would send these probes out into deep space to gather the information.

The fact is, this probe has made fly by's of Venus and Mars which, along with Earth would appear to any non terrestial civilisations, as the planets in the solar system most likely to harbour multicellular lifeforms.

You didn't forget, DS. They made you forget.

That's why they put the supposed "mobile phone" masts up and the flouride in the water.

Apparently there's a mobile phone mast inside the office

I think Bracewell would be a cool name for an alien.

Or a woman who's a bit of a goer in Australia...

Just making polite conversation.

Polite to an australian, anyway.

Wouldn't Roswell be better as both?
