A friend of mine (lets call this person XYZ for identity protection ) had an interesting status update: I’m being hunted by aliens.
I decided to investigate (ok…kill me for my overwhelming curiosity but then again this isn’t your random everyday sort of event is it? How many people do u meet that are being hunted by Extraterrestrials?)
So here it went btw the words in italics are my thoughts.:
Me: Why are U being hunted by aliens?
XYZ: Yep (now I’m confused: what type of answer was this?)
Me: I asked why.
XYZ: They are evil (really??? what happened to kindly lil’ green men or E.T??)
Me: They are? From which planet and why are they hunting you?
XYZ: I haven’t figured out yet. They are from a different part of the galaxy. I think I'm going to be an intergalactic warrior. (HUH????? Now that’s not what you'd hear your kids wanting to be when they grow up...but interesting. After all people in the past laughed at those who dreamed of walking in space.)
Me: Are you serious? This is not a joke right?
XYZ: I’m actually not from earth.
Me: Your not? Then where are you from?
XYZ: about 10,000 light years away. (That’s not very reassuring...but i persisted on)
Me: which planet? Btw are your serious or joking?
XYZ: Do you really think that I am an alien? (Well not exactly....)
Me: You are a homosapien right? So that means you’re not an alien. Do you want to be one?
My friend is in fact very much human in case you were wondering. Now the conversation drifts into astronomy and ufology. I'll spare the details.
Me: Do you believe in aliens and UFO's?
XYZ: my other theory it is possible that any advance race would have created life on earth by drooping a living cell on earth were the living conditions. There must be life on this huge universe. There are lot of records and sightings about UFOs.
Me: So then aliens do exist and if they come to earth; will they take over our planet and try to create a new world dominion? (Now you know that I’ve been watching way too many movies)
XYZ: we have two choices. Either we fight them or let them do what they want.
Me: Like in War of the worlds??? (Yeah wit all those sci-fi movies out there this was the only one I could come up with. Sad. I know).
XYZ: yeah.
Me: Interesting. But we don't have special powers. How can we defeat an advanced life form?
XYZ: Do not underestimate the power of the human spirit. I don’t know.
Me: Spirit? You mean our SPIRITS will be fighting them. (Maybe they wipe us out and then we will rise again and defeat these tyrannical monsters who seek to destroy our planet.................. I think Spielberg will be disgusted wit me.)
XYZ: it would be more like Independence Day.
Me: that’s
XYZ: We have nukes. We can hit something before it enters the atmosphere.
Me: you mean before it kills us first? Then there will be nothing left on earth. They might as well take over. (Yes...my ignorance of nukes comes into full force here...but honestly if we blast one of them into space wouldn’t it kill us as well as any invading forces??? Must look into this)
XYZ: There are nuke missiles to destroy asteroids if they come to hit with the earth. It you hit them with a nuke outside the atmosphere, the earth will not get affected. If they take over, we'll be in deep shit. (No kidding?!?!)
Me: Couldn’t they be friendly aliens? Maybe u know…the earth will become to toxic for us to live one day, with pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and stuff and aliens could come and save our planet?
XYZ: There can both good guy and bad guys. Who knows. I assume the aliens visit us could be good guys. We should better find a new planet.
(And the conversation terminated......)
I know this is long winded but still it has some very good morals.
1) Be prepared: you never know when things go wrong. Have a back up plan....this would include calling up NASA to find out the latest outer space flight bookings, purchasing plenty of portable oxygen tanks, tinned foods, suitable clothing etc.
2) Do not take movies seriously. No seriously..... don't.
3) Find out about the local extraterrestrial defense program. Your local authorities’ should have a plan in case our not so friendly neighbors decide to pay us a not so friendly visit.
4) Most importantly: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT!!!!
K... this is Roshi signing off.
