Without wishing to be presumptious, and Roger McGuinn to the contrary, I don't see why there should be anyone else out there trying to communicate with us. I would have thought that the odds against the development of amoebae are colossal; the odds against the evolution of invertebrates are vast; the odds against the emergence of vertebrates are stunning; and the odds against the advent of intelligent e-mail operating beings are ridiculous. I haven't done the sums, though, and I know there is a counter-argument that the number of solar systems with Earth-like planets is also large. I think what I was trying to say was that H G Wells's Selenites and Martians don't exist, and the more that is discovered about other planets, the more hostile to life they appear to be. - - MRG n.p.

Right - the usual argument is that, however astronomical the first set of odds, the sheer vastness of the universe makes it likely that somewhere, sometime, similar life exist(s/ed). That is, an event with million-to-one odds is pretty likely to occur if you run a milllion million trials. But the catch, of course, is whether such life (a) coexists temporally, or (b) even if it does, would have any means of contacting us. And here the vastness of the universe works decidedly against such contact. So even if "we're not alone" right now, for all practical purposes we are likely to be so. None of this explains Michael Jackson, though. ..Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html :: Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb :: --Batman ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 10:15:29 -0800 From: "Rex.Broome" Subject: I'd love to freedom kiss a girl in a freedom bikini and then make love to her using a freedom tickler Jeff D: >>no love for Judy Tenuta? ;) She's not a rock musician.

FWIW, I like the new CDs, too, but they don't mean as much to me as the earlier ones.

They must exist, right? They do exist but I've only seen them for 12 inchers. But the frames they sell specifically designed for records I've seen are horribly over priced. You are much better off going to a U-frame it type place and do it yourself. The only really expensive thing at those places is the glass. And some of those places will have cheaper polyurethane sheets you can cut instead. If they don't you can just get a big sheet and cut it yourself at home. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 15:25:08 -0800 From: "Jason Brown \(Echo Services Inc\)" Subject: RE: paranoia strikes deep in the heartland James Dignan [mailto:grutness@surf4nix.com] > >Don't tell anyone - but apparently we folks in the "heartland" (gag) are > >less maniacally patriotic than we're supposed to be, since all of this > >sounds way extreme to me. > > I always thought that 'heartland' tag was insulting to people in other > parts of the US.

Lastly, while it turns out that most places are pretty inhospitable to life, that's not to say life doesn't thrive there (the extremophiles found all over the planet's most inhospitable places).
