This irreverent, satirical look at the never-ending flying saucer controversy lampoons the full spectrum of the UFO "invasion", from the ancient astronaut theories to the evolution of today's alien abduction "epidemic". From the first chapter, readers see how a close look at prehistoric myths from around the world reveal common threads in each account. McHugh relates how Noah and his sons inadvertently caused aliens to flood the Earth for forty days and nights; how extra-terrestrials gave Nostradamus his power, and how they influenced the success of the 1969 New York Mets. He traces the evolution of the alien abduction epidemic and offers a tongue-in-cheek quiz to determine if you have been abducted without realising it.

She is a girl with sun-browned skin, mahogany hair a couple shades darker, hazel eyes, and a tall, lean swimmer’s body.
She is gorgeous.
I like hyphen names like Mary-Linnae/ea and Mari-Lynnette. Stuff like that.
I also love names like Chelsea-Anne or just Chelsea, or Clair.
She is very strong-willed, but she is sick so weak in her physical body. She lives in a world with aliens, and then she gets kidnapped by a pack of humans who want to torture her, thinking that she is one of them. (Meaning the aliens.) She is able to get away from them, just barely, by swimming, but they meet her on the other side and take her into captivity. Eventually, two of the three boys fall in love with her and are extremely lonely because she is the only other female they know of, and they are very lucky in that she is so beautiful.
So, I need a name for her!

Am I Average, Weird, Unusal, Abnormal, Rare, or SUPER Rare?
For starters, personally I dont allow people to define me, because I pretty much know who I am; I from time to time just like to tap into other peoples minds for their opinion or point of view of me.Which this question is for.If you will PLEASE be HONEST.RATE me as Average, Weird, Unusal, Abnormal, Rare, or SUPER Rare w/ an explanation. Below is some info. so you can determine. If you participate, thank you so very kindly! =)
Well I like to play video games like GTA, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Grand Trusimo, Halo,etc. I also like to read material like Steven King novels, Do-it yourself books, philosophy text, political text, and sci-fi text. In addition to, Im not physical.LOL.
Television, I dont really watch if I do its Sci-fi channel, A&E, TLC, or Cartoon Network/Adultswim. My Favorite color is purple, second fav is red. I love and listen to all types of music. Im obsessed with the “ideas” of the Illuminati, masons, aliens, and “conspiracy theories”. I am also a vegan.
Well, first of all – you contradicted yourself. You said ” I dont allow people to define me, because I pretty much know who I am;” – then why are you asking? If you are a teen, then you are probably normal. If you are an adult who engages in games all day vs. working or providing for a family, then you probably need a push in the direction of maturity.

American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson

Well timed to coincide with Ken Burns's documentary (on which the author served as a consultant), this new biography doesn't aim to displace the many massive tomes about America's third president that already weigh down bookshelves. Instead, as suggested by the subtitle--"The Character of Thomas Jefferson"--Ellis searches for the "living, breathing person" underneath the icon and tries to el...
What is a less insulting word to use for illegal aliens crossing our borders through Mexico than “wetback”?
I grew up in Chicago under the impression that the slur “wetback” strictly was in referance to illegal aliens who swim across the Rio Grande River. Knowing that they also cross the SW desert, are those folks called “dry and or sandbacks”? After actually doing some research on the etymology of the slur, I’m humbled to answer for my own ignorance of the actual insulting nature of the slur “wetback”. I want to know if anyone can offer a different, nicer, more socially proper (yet accurate) term to take the place of “wetback”. I just hate offending people. Please, help if you can. Thank you.
Modern Alien movies broke away from the traditional concept in the 1970′s with the release of the movie “Alien”. It later followed with a second movie called “Aliens” and continues later with many more movies with the focus on the same alien creature.
In the 1980′s a second very popular alien movie released to theaters worldwide. The Predator movie took the alien creature beyond the typical creature whose nature is to kill, to a creature of intelligence that hunts as humans do.
The Predator alien was another movie that took its focus away from the typical alien movie and added the element of intelligence. It drew the audience in with its storyline of an alien that matched the human intelligence and love of hunting. Predators choose to hunt for sport, yet there are times when they kill for survival. Depending on the kind of ceremony, the Predator will go about the hunt differently. Â
The battle between humans and Predator ended with humans prevailing, yet these were just young Predators who were not well-trained in battle. Predators are sent to earth to prove themselves. Once they prove their worthiness, they are then looked upon as adults.
To help them on their journey, Predators carry an arsenal of weapons. Each weapon is synchronized to the Predator’s face plate. When the Predator wishes to use his weapon, all he needs to do is focus his attention on a subject and the weapon will automatically lock and fire.
The weapons he carries are light, yet extremely powerful. He also carries a special self-destruct weapon that releases a nuclear explosion equivalent to the human’s atomic bomb. This weapon is only used as a last-ditch effort. When a Predator has lost a battle, he uses his last few minutes of life to start the nuclear timer. Once the timer starts, it cannot be stopped. A nuclear explosion soon follows. With these few weapons, strength and intelligence, the Predator is a worthy opponent to any species.Â

V: The Original TV Miniseries
$4.33
In its day, V was a monumental event that for one generation remains a pop-culture touchstone. Close Encounters of the Third Kind may have reassured us that perhaps we have nothing to fear from alien visitors and E.T. introduced us to a benign extraterrestrial who only wanted to go home, but Kenneth Johnson's 1983 television miniseries knew better. Visitors who claim to come in peace are revealed ...
Long, long ago, in a bedroom far, far away, a ten year old boy was lucky enough to come across a set of ancient comics deposited upon him by his grandmother from her local church’s Christmas jumble sale. They were old and crinkly. The pages were yellowed. The smell – well, lets leave it at musty.
But they featured the adventures of a very peculiar and to the child, unfamiliar character – Rick Random, Space Detective (from the days when a man had a proper Man’s name…!). Here, in glorious back and white, the ‘First Detective of the Interplanetary Age’ battled all sorts of villainous evil-doers on all sorts of mysterious planets. The stories were very British, the characters very, very British, and sometimes more than a bit jarring. Like watching one of those old classic Ealing comedies of the 1950s. Except these stories contained lots of ‘Alrite, gov’nor, luv a duck, cor blimey, its a right t’do, innit’ set to the background of helio-cars, visio-phones, magneto-rockets and giant aliens (quite literally!).
For a few days they provided an escape from the mundane surroundings of an Irish childhood in the 1980s (an awful decade, as anyone can tell ya). Instead of a boring bedroom in the bleak suburban winter the child travelled into the distant reaches of space in a distant future of seemingly endless strange planets and peoples. No matter that the speech was a bit funny (phone written as ‘phone, apostrophe included, and lots of people saying stuff like, ‘Rick felt so gay that evening’). No matter that the technology was so laughable – even to a 10 year old. It was all glorious, escapist stuff and none the worse for it.
So imagine to his delight when the boy became a man (allegedly) and he stumbled upon in that cathedral of commercialism, Amazon, a reissue of the very best adventures of that fondly remembered stiff upper-lip chap in the space suit. Credit card out, details tapped in, and package eagerly received at the front door five days later.
And, oh dear…
What in childhood seemed fun and different, quaint even then, seems in adulthood just…
Oh dear…
In our first adventure Rick Random becomes tangled up with a planet whose inhabitants choose to have nothing to do with the Earth based interplanetary community. That’s all. Not oppose the Earth, or wage war against the Earth, or fly hijacked rockets into skyscrapers on the Earth. Just mind their own business and stay out of everyone else’s way – Earth included. So what do the unhappy Earth chappies do? Why, the back-room boys come up with a wizard plan to drop lots an’ lots of nuclear rockets on the cities of the ne’er-do-well planet, to wipe the human-like inhabitants out, and thereby render the planet useful for the Federation. The way you do like.
And that pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the adventures. We are greeted with slanty-eyed aliens (yes), negro slaves with ‘rolling white eyes’ (I kid you not), whales farmed for food (oh, dearie me…), and so on. You get the picture I’m sure. Sort of Pax Britannica in space – and all the worse for it.
Rick Random first appeared in the ‘Super Detective Library’ magazine in 1954 and unfortunately it tells. Time has not been kind to dear old Rick. Created to tap into the zeitgeist of 1950s ‘space age’ Britain, the stories now seem horribly dated. Even the later stories, which were written by the then young Sci-Fi author Harry Harrison, and penciled by acclaimed comic artist Ron Turner, seem too old fashioned and twee for words.
Some things age with grace. Those old, grainy black and white Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials of early Saturday mornings we can still watch, sorta kinda, and enjoy. Ealing comedies remain classics of cinema and are just as enjoyable today as they were 60 years ago. But then they operate on a higher plane than do old comics. Back in the mid-20th century children were still the prime readership and it tells in every page.
Despite its lovely reproduction of the old Rick Random comics, with a nice vinyl cover to keep it safe, and (joy of joys) an actual book token attached to the spine, there is little to recommend in this collection.
Sometimes the past is the past for a reason. And one should know better to just leave well enough alone.

It is because in the future we’ll have abandoned religion in favour of science?
Actually, backwards aliens have religion like the Bajorans, but their ‘gods’ are other aliens.
Actually, there is quite an abundance of religion in Star Trek. You are correct in your statement about the Bajorans (though I can’t agree with you on calling them “backwards”), but they are not the only race that has a religion. The Ferengi pray to the Blessed Exchequer regularly and believe that when they die, they will hopefully go to the Divine Treasury. If they have been “bad” Ferengi, and haven’t accumulated a good deal of wealth in their lives, they will end up in the Vault of Eternal Destitution. Klingons also have religious beliefs, which run very deep. Worf’s brother felt that Worf had dishonored their family and asked Worf to kill him so that he could spend the rest of eternity in Sto-vo-kor.
So I don’t quite understand your question, since there is quite obviously a lot of religion in Star Trek. Even members of the Federation were religious. If not, why would Q try to impersonate God? However, it is quite true that the main themes of Star Trek are not religious, and that is probably because Gene Roddenberry (the creator of Star Trek) was an athiest.
