Finally a thread on pure Geekness!!. . . . .
First of all if the said beings can get themselves here I doubt we
will have anything that can impress them . . .If anything they wud
most likely be hooking us up with j ama kpods . . maybe virtual
players that u connect with on the sixth sense ama stuff like that. .
. .. .
Secondly I watch sci-fi movies showing an alien race coming n we fight
them off with guns and brute bravery. . . . I highly doubt we will
raise a finger if such guys showed up n parked by the moon. . ..
just my thots. . . .
