happythoughts 0 #1 September 30, 2002 1. Alien beings from a highly advanced society visit the Earth, and you are the first human they encounter. As a token of intergalactic friendship, they present you with a small but incredibly sophisticated device that is capable of curing all disease, providing an infinite supply of clean energy, wiping out hunger and poverty, and permanently eliminating oppression and violence all over the entire Earth. You decide to: A. Present it to the President of the United States. B. Present it to the Secretary General of the United Nations. C. Have a few beers and take it apart with your brother-in-law.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Brisco 0 #19 September 30, 2002 There was a pretty cool episode of, I think, The Twilight Zone, where alien creatures came to earth with such a device and they had a user's guide titled "To Serve Man", but other than the title, was written in their language. They were convincing people to come back with them to their planet on the premise that it was a wonderful, peaceful place. One woman was real suspicious about that book while her boss was just chomping at the bit to get aboard that craft to go to that planet. The girl finally figured out the book and just as her boss was getting on the spaceship, she came running out yelling "Stop! Stop!! It's a COOKBOOK!!"
