 I was asked a question by a sifi writer, recently. He was attending a conference by scientists on aliens. The conference was a discussion on why we hadn’t been visited by an alien race. I looked at him like he was nuts. And started ticking the reasons off on my fingers.

TOP TEN REASONS WHY EARTH HAS NOT BEEN VISITED BY ET.

  1. water worlds with no fire. no fire then no metals, no metals, then no ships.
  2. metal-poor worlds, see above.
  3. different kind of intelligence, like the elephants, who are more interested in history and relationships than space travel.
  4. too dang far away.
  5. no opposable thumbs.
  6. wiped out by nature/novas/etc.
  7. died in space and never made it here.
  8. came and saw us and ran screaming for their lives
  9. came and saw us and are still here, eating popcorn and laughing their butts off
  10. came and saw and decided we were too violent to survive, so why bother interacting with us.

Honestly, this writer started jotting down what I was saying. I still think he’s nuts for even having to ask. I came up with about 20 more, but I'm interested other people's ideas. Whatcha think?

They've seen all nine seasons of The X Files, and don't think they'll get a fair shake if they ever DO show up down here.

Or...they've heard Howard Stern on satellite radio and that pretty much clinched us as too savage and stupid to bother with.

*grin*

They already have, just too small to be seen and interact properly.

They already have, just too big and overlooked us.

They decided we were too imbecilic based on our broadcasts.

We may have been crunchy on the inside but we didn't taste good even with ketchup.

Would you stop and pick us up on the side of the road?

They already have but their mommas said to throw us down, 'cause they didn't know where we had been.

LMAO!!!!
I thought *anything* was good with ketchup...
Maybe they needed to batter us first?
Batter as in beer batter, not batter as in beat with big sticks...
