Hopefully you discovered 3-interesting facts from today’s history comic. In review:
- Historians think (they are not exactly sure) that the first telescope was invented in 1608 – they are also not exactly sure who invented it, but there are a few potential names being tossed around.
- The remote possibility that aliens might visit planet earth is not even remotely possible.
- Aliens are always green.
This second piece of information is particularly fascinating… especially considering the fact that there are hundreds of books, movies, clubs, conferences and government bodies discussing the topic of aliens. As Bill Bryson asserts in A Short History of Nearly Everything, some people even believe that aliens would travel millions of miles simply to leave a nice Crop Circle in a remote Kansas corn field.
Conclusion? When it comes to aliens, we humans, unfortunately, are not too bright. To help rectify the situation, let me remind the world what scientists have been saying for years:
ALIENS CANNOT VISIT PLANET EARTH. EVER. PERIOD. AMEN.
If aliens do exist on some far flung planet (and I’m not saying they don’t), they are just too stinking far away to get here.
OK. Now that we’ve solved that piece of misinformation, let’s move on to a few more interesting alien facts. Tune in Saturday for our next installment.
