Re: OT: Alien Contact
Well, if there is life out there (a possibility, because even if the odds are 1 to a trillion, there are billions of stars), it will be unlikely that we will contact it anytime soon. Due to the incredible distances involved, signals, let alone spacecraft, (radio, laser, etc) take centuries if not thousands of years to get here, because of the limit of the speed of light.
If there is a way around the speed of light, I dont know. String theory holds that we exist in 10 dimensions, maybe we can circumvent the speed of light by altering these other dimensions (if string theory is true, mind you)

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat. The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
