THEY'RE MADE OUT OF MEAT
by Terry Bisson
"They're made out of meat."
"Meat?"
"Meat. They're made out of meat."
"Meat?"
"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."
"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?"
"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."
"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."
"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."
"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."
"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat."
"Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage."
"Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?"
"Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside."
"Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through."
"No brain?"
"Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to tell you."
"So... what does the thinking?"
"You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat."
"Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!"
"Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?"
"Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat."
"Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years."
"Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?"
"First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual."
"We're supposed to talk to meat."
"That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.' That sort of thing."
"They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"
"Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat."
"I thought you just told me they used radio."
"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."
"Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?"
"Officially or unofficially?"
"Both."
"Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing."
"I was hoping you would say that."
"It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?"
"I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?"
"Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact."
"So we just pretend ther

Give me a break Youd think someone kidnapping a girl gangraping her for days then torturing her.
then while shes still alive slowly cutting her breast off Might catch Nancy Graces attention.....
But nope Im guessing this couple wernt worth reporting on
Nancy Grace is nothing more than a Whore for Ratings
and that goes for Most of the Mass media...but yes im singling her out
My question is this ? Why did the Duke Lacross case get MONTHS of airtime , and yet the Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom doube rape and murder hasnt been mentions on national TV.
This poor Girl was forced to watch 5 Gangbangers rape her boyfriend, cut off his sexual orgins, then they raped him in bedding, set him on fire, shot him to death and dumped his body in a ditch.
She wasnt as lucky as he was. She was gang raped for several days, and after forced oral sex she was forced to drink cleaning fluid to destoy the evidence. When they were done raping her, they cut both of her breasts off while she was still alive then took turns pissing on her. when the police finally found her she was in the kitchen in 5 seperate garbage bags.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channon_Christian_and _Christopher_Newsom_murder
This happened in Knoxville TN in Jan but there has been NOTHING about it on CNN CBS ect NADA
Ive even writen Nancy Grace several emails about this and NADA
The US Media Doesnt give a damn about anything BUT RATINGS and KISSING BIG GOVT ASS
LMFAO
Thats all i can say. Whats good for the goose... ect
Disney steals sh*t all the time
"The Lion King" was a 100% rip off of "Kimba The White Lion"
http://www.kimbawlion.com/rant2.htm
Atlantis was a rip off of Nadia
Epcot Center was stolen from Mark Waters' 1961 painting for Miniature World, based on a U.S. Air Force officer's concept,
"Finding Nemo" was a straight up rip off of "Finding Nero" a french animated film
Plus there are lawsuits (try google) against them for Monsters Inc. , The Pirates of the Caribbean , to name a few.
Not to mention this crap they keep pulling "BUY CINDERELLA NOW...LAST TIME ON DVD...IF YOU DONT GET IT NOW YOU NEVER WILL.....WHAT KIND OF PARENT ARE YOU TO NOT WANT YOUR LITTLE GIRL TO WATCH THIS CLASSIC....HURRY TIMES RUNNING OUT."
Or the fact that Steamboat Willy and alot of the older Disney stuff SHOULD be in public domain by now. Personaly I could give a Rats a$$ about steambaot willy (bad pun sorry) but by paying off lawmakers so they can make a few extra bucks of off micky (instead of thinking of something new) we all suffer becasue the public domain suffers
If Walt Disney were alive today do you know what he'd say????
LET ME THE HELL OUT !! ITS COLD IN HERE
then hed see what they have done with his magical ideas and kill himself
Thats just wonderful. Im very happy for all you Linux fans.
Will I be able to Watch the same movies and video clips I do now?
What about my E-Book Collection?
Will I be able to use the programs I use now for backing up my DVD Collection ? ( AnyDVD and CloneDVD )
Will I Be able to play the games I own right now ? ( Battlefield series Ect......Not that I did'nt reallllly enjoy Tux Racer)
What about my hardware , will I have to "Roll my own" drivers for my computer ?
Will it do all of this out of the Box (or the download)
How much will I have to Relearn about computers (sorry I have very little free time to put away for learning a lot of new crap to do the same stuff I do now.)
I do not mind spending a little time on learning a new operating system. I do mind spending a lot of time on Kernels and drivers and all of this other crap.
When I can install this ( on the same computer as my XP just in case ) And it gives me the same uses as XP does without a trip thru Geekfest 4000 then i'll do something besides yawn) and to all those who put people down for using windows or what not because its not as LEET as Linux remember two things 1.Windows is the number one used operating system in the world for a reason. 2. I got your LEET hanging right here.
Why do all of these games have to have a maximum for their lvl system and skills ect...
they should just make it harder and harder to get each new lvl or skill lvl.
As far as repetitiveness in games throw in some wide scale wars , have some weapons that are Unique.....Thor's hammer , The Sword of Death . The Flying Ring/blade of Goatsey ect. If someone has it the only way to get it is to challenge them to a fight in an arena or just a fight to the death ect.
The one thing i hate (and im a casual player mind you UO) is this BULLSH*T about well people who only play a little each week will feel leftout/disadvantaged/PMS....who cares. you get out of it what you put into it Same as anything in life. You want to just do casual gaming Fine ! You think roleplaying is more important (as in you MUST speak like this "Whom shalt we slay today" and all ways stay in character Coolbeans Be My Guest ! But stop whining when a rabbid squirll kills you. Try swinging that sword around instead of yapping your gums.
I Keep reading Comments about how Windows users who dont want to spend to switch to linux are LAZY or STUPID.
I keep hearing about how Windows has quirks and problems also.
I hear this reason and that reason on why I should switch to Linux and dump Windows.
Everywhere I look around slashdot I see WINDOWS EVIL !!! EVILLLLLLL
I could sit here and try to patiently explain my point of view as an average computer user.
Instead Im going to be blunt.
When Linux is easy enough to use then Ill switch.
When I can pop the install CD into my box , Install the OS , then go about doing what I want to do without being forced to Edit this or hack that or create a driver for this piece of hardware THEN Ill switch.
When I can do what I do now on my WindowsXP in Linux THEN Ill switch.
When Linux can do that call me . Untill then the only thing all this Linux Rules the World sh*t does is remind all of us average computer users of the;ittle kiddies that TyPe fUnnY and call themselves 1337.
1 Last thing STOP INSISTING THAT WE NONLINUX USERS PUT IN THE TIME AND EFFORT TO USER YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM IF YOU WONT PUT IN THE TIME AND EFFERT TO MAKE IT EASY TO USE.
Hope this works. cause I wasnt there when the judge issued that search warrent to the police. So that means the warrent isnt valid. Which means anything they found cant be used against me (Fruit of the poisoned tree). Does this mean i can sue the police to get my 650 pound stash of pat back ?
This is the first time ive posted here so please bear with me
After reading the Crap on theyre website about how it was a law that if i buy a dell and then donate it to my local school i must do so with Windoze on it i decided to call a few people and ask around....sorry to sday i got mixed messages from the people i talked to.
First i called Dell. the salesman i talked to said it sounded like a load of BS to him but he asked around there anyway and everyone else said it sounded like a load of BS to them too.
However when i called Gateway the sales lady there said YES by law you must have the original OS on the Box when you donate it.
Not being a lawer or haveing eaten any lawers lately i cant speak fact on this but to me it sounds like a load of Hourseshit.
Heres an idea i had .
1.call as many PC Retailers as possable and ask them about this-we will be able toi tell if its BS or not and also might get a few hairs raised at Microsoft in the process
2. call companys and Orgs that deal with donated computers and ask them about this...they might get really ticked at Microsoft as this if its not true does damage to theyre company if people who saw that and desided not to danate computers because of it
3. Email as many companys that deal with donated computers as possable and "make sure they understand the law" by emailing the webpages URL to them and make sure that they understand that if they except a Dell or other PC that came with a windows product without the original OS that a law has been broken.....im sure they legal department will know what to do
I would like to thank you for reading this qand ask 1 favor.......
im stuck with a 56k modem and a bad connection at that and id like to download a Linux for my computer (selfbuilt....making sure i dont break the MS Law):) but with this crap connection i cant get it DLed
Can you suggest a Linux flavor for a newbee thjat wants to wean himself off of MS OSs
and where can i download it (i need a place that will allow DAP Resume or have it chapped into smaller bits to DL) thanks all
