It just seems unlikely to me that humans are the only "intelligent life" out there when you really think about how small our planet is, or even our galaxy (I think the next closest galaxy to the Milky Way is significantly bigger than the Milky Way itself). Considering the size of everything, how small of an area we occupy in space... I just think it's probable that there's other life out there that's at least as about as intelligent as us. Especially when you factor in how little we actually know about what's going on even within our own solar system... let alone beyond it. If there's life out there in another galaxy, it's no wonder we haven't found them and they haven't found us given what we know about space exploration with current technology.

Work has been good lately. Been learning new skills as a cellar worker.

It's funny if it's Aliens and their first reaction is fucking shooting them down. I hope the Aliens know it's just the Americans.

Our Internet has been down all day and we have only just got it back... I was forced to partake in conversation with the other members of the house... felt like I was back in the 70's....

I'm really hurt. I need an alien to bring me presents to make me feel better.

Linkin Park released a song today which had Chester as lead, but was previous not released and from what I read, was somewhat forgotten. Today it was released.

You would think there would have to be at least a few planets with at least animal level life. I stumbled on a new theory, that the observable universe could actually be the inside of a black hole. Which seems crazy, but some respectable enough scientists are not dismissing the idea. It would be a different twist on the big bang theory. It crosses my mind that there could be many, many more stars so far away that their light hasn't yet reached us. Or never will. By the time they see & look closely at our star light, we could be long gone. And what really fries my brain is that if we do figure out faster than light warp speed.. the universe would change around the astronauts. Get to a star 1 million light years away. It would be 1 million light years, plus travel time, more recent when we arrive. Look back at our sun. And that light from our sun would have taken 1 million light years to get there. And the navigation would have to be equally mind blowing to avoid doing what Han Solo suggests could happen.

Dolphins!

Was just going to post that I was listening to that @Eco. Great song.

You never know either way, unless someone had him on Facebook.

To be honest, @Spike did have you on the verge of a full meltdown for less the other week, so you never know

@Tommy to be honest if aliens were looking for intelligent life and made contact with the USA they would probably go home

I can't stop laughing at the thought of aliens packing presents Ungrateful American bastards!

I can't stop laughing at the thought of Aliens finally building up the courage to pay us a friendly visit, packing presents and what not, and the Americans just fucking shoot them down. And the Aliens at their space center tracking the flight are all like:

Were you wearing a tin foil hat as you typed this ? The whole world is alien to me. Oh, the irony!

Too busy working and raising their kids to visit.

@Stansounds an awful lot like an Alien trying to hide his true identity.

Or you just saved the humanity from extinction by being an introvert who doesn't like phone calls. Some heroes do not wear capes

This is my point. I believe there's this kind of life form somewhere out there. But not aliens.

What if one of those unknown numbers calls I rejected was Aliens trying to make contact? I've ruined everything.

Astronomers. And yeah haha, I figured what you meant, it just irks me because I hate astrology with passion

Erm, no. Most scientists do not believe that there is intelligent life in the universe, nor has it been explained why aliens haven't come to Earth... What many scientists believe is that the existence of extraterrestrial life in the past or present is likely in the vast Universe, but we're mostly talking about microbial lifeforms here, not intelligent alien civilisations. Drake Equation and Fermi paradox looking at the potential number of alien civilisations and the reasons there hasn't been any contact is nothing but a thought experiment...

Because aliens don't exist.

It's definitely not aliens.

That's actually not quite true, it got distorted in the media. There was a study conducted by the Center of Theological Inquiry, a non-profit theological institute in Princeton which looked into the potential societal impact of finding life beyond Earth, and NASA provided a grant to the researchers (which included some theologians, too). It also didn't happen last year, but rather in 2015-2017. However, there is currently an attempt to come up with an official protocol for alien contact, and it's being worked on by the SETI Detection Hub.

Huge game next Monday! Getafe vs Valencia. Massive 6-pointer. And slightly less relevance but Girona vs Almeria is also a close encounter.

Yes I am a Bears fan

Yeah not sure who he is referring to there Chiefs have been very strong all year.

Amazing game. One of the best I've watched. Congrats to the Chiefs!

@Stan It's confirmed. Rihanna is pregnant.

Hurts gets the 2pt conversion!! What a game this is.

Yeah Chiefs are exciting to watch. Still time for Eagles to produce something special...

Nope. I'll hate it for Jalen and co if Eagles lose, but in reality I don't have a massive dog in the fight and like watching both teams. Also, Andy Reid is amazing.

Looks like all the slipping is on the painted turf where the logos are. It's disappointing it's happened so frequently and often today.

This grass/turf is so bad. How does this happen for the SUPER BOWL?

Yeah, also remember Eminem being given an ultimatum by the NFL not to take the knee as part of his performance but he gave them a massive two fingers and fuck you and did it anyway. Hero.

Nah 100%. That was memorable and legendary with so many iconic artists together.

It's good to see her live, but last's years was much better with Dre, Snoop, 50, and Eminem, but maybe I'm biased.

Yeah I prefer her older stuff anyway. Seems to be a fair few MJ references so far.

Damnnn Rihanna looks gooood

Oh my word. What a TD!

Errors were made, but I actually like the accountability they're taking. Doesn't change the fact the errors were made, but you can only hope things improve for the future.

Having a wee drink after watching Scotland thump Wales in the rugby home nations, the wife celebrates too as Liz loves watching rugby, especially when Scotland wins.
