    this alien mess would have been discovered years ago, but i'm pretty sure that this article is providing the most traffic answers.com has received in years.

    seriously, it's still around?

    This is preposterous. Aliens are not real. I wouldn't buy this trash for ten gwarl'ecks, I mean human dollars, I mean dollars.

    That is all I have to say at this moment human friends.

    @Dr.Quatermass: I am so much more then this protein based containment suit. Do not meddle in the affairs of Rulers of the Twelve Suns.

    Seriously.

    They are looking for a new spouse for the fourth Trelmop. And I heard he/r taking about how fetching your squiggly-spooch is.

    @LittleDragon: I know not what you speak of. In fact, your curious behavior that I am not involved in whatsoever will be directly reported to my Earthling President.

    I will also add, if any of this were true, the Trelmops are not to be forgiven for their run-in with the Cshistra Transmogrifer. And even if they were to clean their name of such a disgrace, their breeding class is Universally accepted as the most offensively hideous creatures this side of Andromeda.

    Of course, this is all just play. As a human, I am unaware of the many powerful civilizations looming at their front door.

    @Dr.Quatermass: Like wise, as a fellow protein based human life form, I know nothing of the supreme and glorious masters of the Cosmo.

    Breeding class or no breeding class, we have all seen you after four or five Binary Sunsets. The videos are on youtube and that was not a Vespian princess.

    Not that I would know anything about intergalactic binge drinking parties.

    @Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: Ah Aliens mispelling makes more sense. Here I was thinking there was some strange inverse correlation between the ability to spell and people who look for their answers about aliens on answer.com.

    @vinylrake: You mean like how it's usually only the redneck rubes who talk about their close encounters with our cosmic anal probing brother(s) (and sisters) from another Galactic mother?

    I think I sold a Hulk action figure to this guy about ten years ago. He was in his late twenties.

    It seems the Universal Translator is malfunctioning. Computer, locate Lt. Commander LaForge.
