“who’s paying for this?”

You REALLY need to ask?

I believe that THEY have shone that Border Collies can understand dozens of different words.

The problem is their return vocabulary is limited. Woof, whine and bark.

"Twain responded to a pre-recorded 'contact call'."

"Pre-recorded," huh? That rules out this conversation.

Chris Christie left the campaign trail to have a 20 minute conversation with scientists?

They recorded a whale’s greeting and played it through speakers. This whale was fooled, and returned the greeting.

Not gonna help when previously unknown life forms land on Earth.

My sister once had an encounter with a clam at the beach. I’ll bet the clam couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

The “aliens” are a cover story for what they really are, fallen demonic angels in material form. Why they don’t all look the same? Well, there were different levels of angels. There were not all the same, they didn’t all look the same. When they fell and were warped by their own sinful rebellion, their former angelic appearances were also affected.

Rumor also has the whale saying “Help Me! My name is Jonah and I’m stuck in here.”

[Secret Agent Man]

Ifmit was your sister she could have talked clam with it.

Dr Brenda McCowan (left) and Dr Fred Sharpe played a pre-recorded greeting call into the water as Twain came near their research vessel ...

When the call was played through the water, Twain approached the boat and responded with a greeting call of her own.

You know what this means??

A 'celebration of life' memorial service for Brenda and Fred will be held on...

Was one of the researchers named Doolittle, by any chance?

[right way right]

What did the whale say?

What a crock.

I talked to a deer in my yard yesterday then.
It said snort, grunt, grunt….

I think it was asking about the does that ran through a couple minutes before.
So I pointed and said dattaway….see, I talked to a deer….where’s my grant money?

[MNDude]

well, the right people are on the job apparently

Mr Spock communicated with a humpback whale

Hahahahaha...reminds me of that Far Side Cartoon:

WHAT WE SAY TO DOGS: Okay, Ginger! I've had it! You stay out of the garbage, Ginger! Do you understand? Stay out of the garbage, or else!

WHAT THEY HEAR: blah blah Ginger! blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Ginger blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

[CommerceComet]

Honestly, what is so amazing about this? I’ve had the same level of communications with bull elk using my elk bugle.

While on Acid, Ozzy Osbourne had a conversation with a horse. That was the last time Ozzy took Acid...

One of my favorite anecdotes was from a high-society woman who sat next to the notoriously close-mouthed Calvin Coolidge at some fancy dinner party when he was President, and the conversation went something like this:

WEALTHY SOCIALITE: Good evening, Mr President! My husband told me I wouldn't be able to get three words out of you during the entire dinner! What do you say to that?

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE: You lose.

[ComputerGuy]

Good one!
