SETI@Home Revisits Its 100 Best Signals
cmbrothe writes "The Planetary Society is running an article about SETI@Home's plan to revisit its 100 most promising signal candidates. The article also outlines the criteria for selecting the candidates."
My name is Mary Justine Marie Therease Elizabeth (yes that is my one full name). People call me Em, anyway I am writing you guys because I found your site and decided to tell you one of my TRUE stories. Alright I am 14 and in the 9th grade and over the summer I discovered I am what some might call a "witch" technically I am not a "bad witch" because I don't practice evil spells n I am also a Christian Catholic. But I have a spirit who follows me around & I had have some contact with other non visible creatures. ANYWAY! to my whole point... My friend Danielle's father died when she was a little girl, he died of cancer which most of her uncles and grandfather have died from. She is now 14 and one night she was typing on the computer and Amanda her othe friend was with her. All at once her fingers froze above the keyboard and she could not type she had lost all feeling from her elbows down. she panicked as she stared at the screen and a Microsoft Word document opened all by its self and the keys were being pressed down but not by her. the letter began "Il mio Danielle di figlia bello" which in Italian means my lovely daughter Danielle. then it went on and on about how much he loved her and he is sorry he cant be there for her prom or when she begins driving or when she gets married. she began to cry and called out "Il papà" and it ended L'amo, la mia copia esatta. which in italian means I love you, my exact copy. Danielle is an exact copy of her father dark complexion dark hair thin athletic humorous a real people person. then all at ones her computer shut down. This all happened on March 22nd, the 10th year anniversary of her fathers death.
If I rip mp3s of alien punk, does this constitute copyright violation in the eyes of the RIAA? If the RIAA steals the songs from SETI and makes a CD, does that leave earth open for intergalactic litigation?
How are you gentlemen!!
We all know of Rudolph and his shining nose
.. He's coming!
.. and so you shake your ass around
And we all know Frosty who's made out of snow
But all of those stories seem kind of... gay
`Cause we all know who brightens up our holiday
Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo
Small and brown he comes from you
Sit on the toilet here he comes
Squeeze him 'tween your festive buns
A present from down below
Spreading joy with a "Howdy-Ho!"
He's seen the love inside of you
`Cause he's a piece of poo
Sometimes he's nutty
Sometimes he's corny
He can be brown or greenish brown
(Mmmmhmmm!)
But if you eat fiber on Christmas eve
He might come to your town!
Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo
He loves me, I love you
Therefore, vicariously he loves you!
I can make a Mr. Hankey too! (Pffffft)
Cartman: Well Kyle where is he?
Kyle: Ehh
Stan: Come on dude, push!
Kyle: Ehhhh... I'm Trying!
Cartman: Wait, wait I can see his head!
Kyle: Here he comes!
[POP!]
Mr. Hankey: Howdy Ho!
I'm Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo
Seasons Greetings to all of you!
Let's sing songs and dance and play
Now before I melt away.
Here's a game I like to play
Stick me in your mouth and try to say
Howdy ho ho yum yum yum
Christmas Time has come!
Singers: Sometimes He's runny
Sometimes he's firm
Sometimes he practically water.
Sometimes he hangs off the end of your ass
And wont fall in the toilet
'Cause he's just clinging to your sphincter
And he wont drop off
And try to get it to drop in the toilet and finally it does.
Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo
When Christmas leaves he must leave too.
Flush him down but he's never gone
His smell and his spirit linger on.
Howdy Ho!
Aliens are searching for SETI.
