They'll come to Earth, get our email addresses, send spam back to us and take control of Earth by getting Earth President Nixon to fall for a dodgy 419 scam.
Then all they need to do build a fleet of solid gold death stars and they'll be unstoppable!

I'm sure the bulk of the people reading this have far better stories. I don't understand the parachute one though, do video camera's have built-in memory?
As for the memory stick one, my dear old 512MB Sandisk USB memory stick has been through the wash twice and survived fine. I've heard other people say the same thing. Anyone else have this happen to them? Anyone have a bigger storage medium go through the wash?
The kinds of idiots I used to deal with at a large retail store in Aus
Idiot comes in with a laptop saying it runs very slow, and he knows why. I'm all ears. He turns it on, waits 10 minutes for it to get to a usable state on the Windows XP desktop, types in MSCONFIG in run, and says "Look. It runs slow because half the drivers aren't Microsoft certified! I want this fixed!"
I don't even bother to try to explain to him that saying a driver is bad because it is not Micrsoft certified is saying a chef is no good because he is not McDonalds certified. I calmly look at the laptop myself.
Turns out this fool was running Windows XP Pro with only 256MB RAM, with 64MB of that shared for the video card, and two antivirus packages running scans at startup. I asked him why he did that, and he said "So the second virus scanner can pick up the viruses that the first one missed".
Being a long time believer in the old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted" I didn't argue against this, and told him he needed more ram. He didn't believe me, so I ended up grabbing another 512MB stick out of stock, put it in the laptop and fired it up to show him how much faster it could run. He was happy.
Thank goodness I gave up that job.
I spoke to the guy that took that job after me, he said he once had to call security on a guy that flung a laptop at him, almost hitting him in the head!

Don't have a cow, man!
We've got a lot of feral animals. Cats, rats, camels, pigs, goats, foxes, horses not to mention the ones that NewsWatcher spoke off.
You'd think our native animals would be tough enough to take this lot down.

Are you telling me that Jesus wasn't an original character
No, but he was nailed to the perch...
Ah, Jesus and those fish tricks of his
Was it a silver perch or a jungle perch?

Forget ED209, I was thinking about SAINT Prototype Number 5.
Wasn't that ED209's catchphrase?

Problem is, driving a horse and buggy can be pretty violent!

I simply use a Morse code key hard wired into a dial up modem and tap binary into it.
Still get RSI though.

You're banana's mate.
Oh well, back to watching "What's My Fruit"
Customer - "Hi, I have a problem with my computer, it won't boot"
Walmart - "What operating system do you have installed"
Customer - "Windows Vista"
Walmart - "I'm sorry, that PC shipped with Linux. You'll have to reinstall that before we can help you!".
Next thing you know, they'll blame faulty hinges on Windows!
Hey, I get here earlier when I drive in the carpool lane!
Wonder what beloved 80's TV show the movie/TV industry will rape next.
Sorry if I sound bitter, I just saw the trailer for the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie.
It's simple.
How many planets are out there? Infinite.
There can be only a finite amount of life supporting planets.
Divide a finite number by infinity. You get 0.
So therefore there are no life in the universe and everything is a figment of my imagination!

Considering where that chain is running, I'd say his pants legs are on the bottom of the list of things to worry about being caught in the chain.
Damn, I just choked on my shepards pie after reading that!
