Vatican Says Alien Life Plausible

An anonymous reader writes "According to BBC, the director of the Vatican Observatory stated in an article titled 'Aliens Are My Brother' that intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space. 'The search for forms of extraterrestrial life does not contradict belief in God. — Just as there are multiple forms of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God.' Mind that this is not the same director who said that evolution is more than a mere theory — that was Father Coyne. I myself agree. There might be intelligent beings created by God in outer space even if there are none here on earth."

Harvey Milk was a San Francisco city supervisor (their name for city council member) who was shot and killed by another supervisor, Dan White, who basically went postal and killed Mayor George Moscone and Milk back in the late 70s. However, the jury gave White seven years with parole for the two murders, allegedly because he was mentally incompetent, but in actuality because Milk was gay and they figured it was one less homo to worry about.

Two nights and a massive riot later, the bigots figured out exactly why they'd been worrying. (Evidently they were incapable of taking a lesson from New York's experiences at Stonewall.)

Incidentally, People v. White also marked the first use of the Twinkie defense - in this case, White's attorneys claimed that he had consumed large amounts of junk food immediately prior to the murders, and wasn't responsible for any actions he might have performed while on a massive sugar high.
