dude, according to that link you sent of Rita, it's coming straight for us!! isn't the rgv below sea level?
i, for one, believe in extraterrestrial life. i think it's simply ridiculous to believe we are the only form of inteligent life in a universe that is so huge, we can hardly comprehend. there are ancient mayan and aztec drawings of people waving to beings in crafts floating in the sky. hollywood's commercialized aliens too much, so we don't seem to think they do exist, but they're out there, man, and they're coming to probe you!
*note: ever notice most abductions happen in the middle of nowhere? it's always some hillbilly saying "'dem aliens took me, dey did." i don't know about you guys, but i'd rather not have uncle jasper or cleatus represent the human race, hehe... doesn't mean i'm volunteering, though--keep your damn probes away from me, foken aliens!
