Hello, Mom ?

Click Here to Find the Center of the Universe

[bonfire]

Where did you get this info? I followed both links and saw nothing about a signal from the center of the universe??

[sure_fine]

reminds me of the movie " Contact "

[dfwgator]

"Send More Chuck Berry...."

[kenth]

An intelligent signal?

Or more like a DNC press release?

[RightWhale]

The center of the universe? That would be my neighbor's house, judging from visitor traffic. Especially on weekends.

Real announcement:

"There's nothing out there. We give up."

[CzarNicky]

It probably went soemthing like this.

Dear Businessman:

My name is Lucifer and due to political entanglements I have found myself banished. I have a substansial sum of liquid resevers that I will generously share a percentage if you will allow transit through your bank accounts.

Thank you and blessings.

In the novel "The Mind Parasites" the Lunar Leaches Lose their Leash on Mankind! After the final battle the winners sense an intelligent being in a spacecraft passing our solar system just outside the orbit of Pluto!

Is this a precursor to that contact or..., (Star Trek First Contact was on SciFi this weekend. Might this be the {gulp} BORG!)

SETI could only pic out one word...EXTERMINATE!

Editor's note: for all of you out there who have been waving your arms around and speculating, this is not an announcement about finding a signal from ETs, the face on Mars, or anything else. It is far more mundane. Details of the announcement were released - under press embargo - to reporters last week. 


Date: Tuesday, October 17, 2006

Location: SETI Institute, 515 N. Whisman Road, Mountain View, CA, US

Also, I think you meant 'supposedly'. :)

Don't mean to break your chops, but FWIW, according to the latest cosmological theories, the notion of the center of the universe is meaningless. Anywhere in the known universe is as good a center as any other.

"......signal emanating from the center of the universe......."

Sorry, but this very phrase throws this story into serious doubt IMHO.

"......An official announcement is expected tommorow......"

See ya tomorrow.

I still wonder what it is even though it sounds like nothing significant
