The world is ending in 11 more years, big whoop.

Guys, has it ever occurred to you that the ever-so-talked-about "higher intelligence" could just as well be us? Have you ever thought about the possibility that during the times when Mayans conducted their studies in astrology, there wasn't some other planet that had already come out with the flying saucer? I seriously get very annoyed by some people, running around saying that the more advanced ancient civilizations didn't think up the stuff they did. It's just like some guy 5000 years from now saying that an alien race crashed down on Earth and taught us how to make a computer.

And what is our common perception of those helpful "aliens"? Tall skinny white guys with oval heads and huge eyes? I'd love to find out how long you'd expect to see that thing live on any planet

And finally, if there was higher intelligence in the universe, why would they waste their time coming here?

Pago, when you think about how large the universe is you just have to believe that there is a more intelligent race than humans. Look at us, we fight eachother instead of working together. No I don't believe in the big oval-headed alien, I think aliens would look more like humans than weird green men.
