Alien question

Hi guys,

Just a little fun. I've been watching the X files since it came back on Foxtel's Scifi channel. One episode left me thinking what would I say if I had a close encounter of the 3rd kind? (forget about how improbable it is)

If you had the opportunity to ask a being from an alien race one question, what would it be?

Let's see..... I'll start with "Why the obsession with anal probes?"

Seriously, I can think of so many, I wish I could get away with "can I ask you a hundred questions?"

Regards

Glenn

Hi Glenn,

One could only presume that if and when we do meet them,that they would be supremely intelligent and peaceful. Otherwise they would probably wipe themselves out through wars. Now that being the case i think going with them to see their world would be the ultimate even knowing that by the time you got back to Earth everyone you knew would probably be long gone.


Take me to your leader

Cheers,
Duncan

"Where are you from?"

...seems so much more productive than the more casual "So... are you from round here?"

Peter, I though you would ask "Is the missing link theory true?"

I am surprised, Geoff, that your question isn't, "So, would you like to buy a freezer suit?"
