...its just another slow Friday morning at work and I was pondering the phrase used by many comical aliens, "Greetings, Earthling...", now my thinking is this, why would an alien, from another world, refer to us as Earthling, when the name Earth was derived by us? The chance of another distant planet using the name Earth for this piece of rock we call home is so slim its damn near invisible. Well thats my thoughts, anyone else care to shed some light on this now controversial topic?

Like a predator stalking their prey…
No one would have believed in the early years of the twenty-first century that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own.
That as men busied themselves about their various concerns, they observed - and studied.
With infinite complacency, (wo)men went to and fro about the globe, confident of their empire over this world.
Yet, across the gulf of space, intellects vast, and cool, and unsympathetic regarded our planet with envious eyes... and slowly, and surely, drew their plans against us.

So why is it that when they abduct humans, they pick the worst of our species?
Redneck hicks from the Bible Belt? :-D

So what your saying is, through distant observation and covert reconnaissance, they learnt that our name for our planet was Earth, intriguing...

Don't even think about it, Martians. We've got these microbes, see? And we ain't afraid of not stopping them from using themselves against you.

"..just another slow Friday.."

No, my good man, you're doing it all wrong. You should be planning things by now. Have you not placed your order (http://www.halloweencostumes4u.com/legend-masks.html) yet?
I think I'll order the machete too and wait in the shadows for the nurses to finish their shift tonight. Yep, it's Friday the 13th and you have to give at least one person a fright tonight.

Hmmm, the Jason masks look pretty cool, might be able to give the missus a scare or something :lol:

The prophecy recalls nothing of the intervention of extra-terrestrial life, be it in the form of communicaions or physical presence.
They may be observing, from far on high. Maybe the turmoil brought about by the AmiMac revolution could cause them to take greater interest. In our plight? or our Re-awakening?

I think they might bring some Beechams Powders with them this time.
