SETI

[howeird]

This afternoon on my way back to work from picking up a package at the apartment, the stop light lottery put me on a different route than I usually take, and lo and behold, it goes by the SETI Institute. I had no idea I lived so close to it. For the rest of the drive, I got to thinking:

Exactly what are they searching for.

Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence

Are they searching for left-over intelligent terrestrials?
Or for the intelligence of left-over terrestrials?

Enquiring minds want to know!

You're right!

I knew I forgot something important - I forgot to give you my appropriate visiting card. Remind me next time.

An extra intellegent terrestrial asking someone with a sea mammal as a mascot to remember something for them. How likely is that to work?

[howeird]

That sea mammal appears to be an elephant seal, and an elephant seal never forgets.

Extras for the next Terrestial Movie

I believe they are looking for (in no particular order)

Venus Di Milo's arms
Uranus
Moonface Martin (although I question the intelligence of that one)

• Venus Di Milo's arms

Perhaps

• Uranus

Nah, that's for Klingons, not Terrestrials

• Moonface Martin (although I question the intelligence of that one)

Nope, that would be the search for Best Supporting Terrestrials
