Dunno. Pulled it out of the "Azathoth" entry in wikipedia. Figured it was appropriate to the thread... heehee.

I'll see your *sigh*, and I'll raise you a ~swoon~! :o)

Rumor: SETI has (supposably) found a signal emanating from the center of the universe

supposedly

Someone please post a pic of Howard Dean doing his "Yeaaaaaagggghhh."

Will that do?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Trying to make everything a hunk thread today, are we?

[Lauren BaRecall]

Nah, that was yesterday's fun. I'm looking for new fun for today.

BTW, I think it's funny that the press was briefed about this "mundane" announcement last week, and they kept their mouths shut. It really must be mundane then, or else the NY Slimes would have had it on their front page, just below the latest government secret.

Google supposably, its a real word and is used in proper context dear English Professor. Funny how the Oxford Dictionary recognizes it and no freeper does.

Here's one for you. Saddam's cave.:

"Yer lonks do not support that. Did you get signal?"

I think his lonks are all screwed up!

[Ciexyz]

"It's the end of the world as we know it...."

[Momaw Nadon]

the signal said something like "we are moving from the second star to the 3rd"

Was the signal in English?

[TMSuchman]

If I remember right it came in a binary code, but that was a long time ago since I heard the information. You might contact Dr. Frank Drake of SETI. He would know more about this than I would.

This is the only press release I found. Strangely enough, I can walk to this place from my apartment.

CARL SAGAN CENTER FORMED TO STUDY LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE

Mountain View, CA– The Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe is being established at the SETI Institute in Silicon Valley to sustain a long-term commitment for research into age-old questions such as, "Are we Alone?"

Thanks Dave.

[Lawgvr1955]

Any update??? Thought the info was to be released on Tues.

[denydenydeny]

The phrase "wolf ticket" comes to mind.

[SunkenCiv]

There's nothing to this. Drake's first attempt picked up a strong, brief signal that was never repeated. No messages have come from ET civilizations -- at least, nothing that has ever been recognized as such. Try a search though on "the Wow signal", which was picked up (again, never repeated) at (I think) Ohio State.

[SunkenCiv]

IF that's the SETI Institute's idea of a major announcement, they need to sit down and have a long hard look at themselves.

[Prost1]

A sound from the Center of the Universe!

God's heartbeat?
