Messages from space

Reuters reports that scientists may finally have isolated communications signals broadcast by intelligent beings from another planet. The signal has been picked up three times and lasted for a minute. It uses a frequency that scientists think would be the likely choice of alien beings.

Not completely ruled out are other possibilities, like hairdryers or hackers. But if the signal picks up a fourth or fifth time, scientists say the prospects will get quite exciting.

ET Phoning Home? Update "It's all hype and noise," said its chief scientist, Dr Dan Wertheimer. "We have nothing that is unusual. It's all out of proportion."

Of course they'd say that! They've obviously been co-opted by the government! Don't you realize the Republicans will stop at nothing?!?

Ahem... sorry about that... channeling Michael Moore again...

Think you'd need to put on a few pounds to do that properly. ;-)
