The Weekly World News has recently re-published their 10 warning signs that someone you know is actually an alien:"Many people work side by side with space aliens who look human - but you can spot these visitors by looking for certain tip-offs.---o0o---
Experts have listed 10 signs to watch for:
1. Weird or mismatched clothes. “Often aliens don’t fully understand the different styles, so they wear combinations that are in bad taste, such as checked pants with a striped shirt or a tuxedo jacket with blue jeans or sneakers,” noted Brad Steiger, a renowned UFO investigator and author.
2. Strange diet or unusual eating habits. Aliens might eat french fries with a spoon or gobble down large amounts of pills, the experts say.
3. Bizarre sense of humor. Aliens who don’t understand earthly humor may laugh during a serious company training film or tell jokes that no one understands, said Steiger.
4. Takes frequent sick days. An alien might need extra time off to “rejuvenate its energy,” said Dr. Thomas Easton, a theoretical biologist and futurist.
5. Keeps a hand-written or online diary. “Aliens are constantly gathering information,” Steiger said.
6. Misuses everyday items. “An alien may use white-out to paint its nails,” said Steiger.
7. Constant questions about customs of co-workers. Aliens who are trying to learn about our Earth culture may ask questions that seem to be stupid, Dr. Easton said. “For example, a co-worker may ask why so many Americans picnic on the Fourth of July,” noted Steiger.
8. Secretive about personal life-style and home. “An alien won’t discuss domestic details or talk about what it does at night or on weekends,” said Steiger.
9. Frequently talks to himself. “A space alien may not be used to speaking as we do, so an alien may practice speaking when it thinks it’s alone,” Steiger noted.
10. Displays a change of mood or physical reaction when near high-tech hardware. “An alien may experience a mood change when a microwave is turned on,” said Steiger.
The experts pointed out that a co-worker would have to display most if not all of these traits before you can positively identify him or her as a space alien.
Have you ever discovered one?"
I loved Abbie Hoffman's first book when I was young. Thumbing through it now, through the filter of years, I still admire its indulgent, subversive anarchy. Well, someone has really stolen it, or at least placed it online (there is no difference, is there?). I bought the book twice. The first time, of course. . .someone stole it. I found this book online because bannination.com listed it with the caption "Dirty hippies give tips to unemployable bankers on how to survive in meltdown economy."
Elizabeth Suman--a woman I've met in Seattle and who lives in NYC now--just published a pretty fascinating article in Nerdabout "10 Most Important Forms of Technology Used During the 56th Presidential Inauguration." She goes into both the successes and limitations of technology in and around the Inauguration. Jump here to read the story on Nerdabout.
