APB: Wanted Kissing Bandit!

And other Amusing Information

Published on April 26, 2007 By Dr Guy In Current Events

Yes, there is a warrant out for a kissing bandit! AKA Richard Gere! For kissing Shilpa Shetty on Indian TV! I had heard that India was a very conservative society, and that their movies (Bollywood - the largest producer of Movies in the world) was very strict on its "sex" scenes, but did not realize that a peck on the cheek would warrant a crime!

But apparently it does. And I guess Mr. Gere is Persona non-Grata now in the triangle land. http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/indian-court-issues-warrant-for-gere/n20070426093109990008?cid=774

I hope he Enjoyed it. She is a cutie.

Dog years? We have all heard about how dogs age 7 years (that is actually a rough estimate - right Zoo?) for every human year, but now we have a real time machine! Planet 581c not only trumps Dog years, but if you are a native (and scientists say that all indications are it is capable of supporting organic life), you age 28 years for each human life! Or more precisely, a 50 year old man on earth would be 1400 years old on 581c!

hey! I like that! Move over Methuselah! I am gaining on you!

Seriously, I find the discovery to be very exciting! While I don't expect to meet ET, it is somehow comforting to know that should man be so foolish as to destroy itself, there are others out there that may be wiser and go forward as we squabble with our petty differences (I just hope they are wiser).

So C-men, send us a signal!

Maybe they wont mind Richard Gere kissing one of their women? Ya think?

But as radio waves go in all directions, did they pick up the first TV broadcast? If so, they may not want to learn about us! (It was the 1936 Olympics).

i thought the 1st broadcasts were in 1928 by "W2XB"

Could be. I think the 36 olympics was the first world wide broadcast. But I guess all of them are floating in space. At the distance of that planet, they should have started receiving them 50-60 years ago I guess.

i have no idea about that. all i know is that the system is about 20 light years away, roughly.

but your idea about with all these waves flyin around, what the "1st thing they might see" got me thinkin...

what if it was south park and they think we are bunch of 2 dimensonal, foul mouthed kids?

what if it was porn? what if it was gay porn?

what if it was happy days and they think we all live in the 50's?

what if it's "war of the world's", independence day, or the like and we "embolden the enemy?"

what if it's star trek and they think much more of us than we actually are?

what if they get the idea that miss america pagents are how we elect our leaders?

the possibilities are endless for them to misconstrue who or what we are, lol...

OMG! You should write a blog on that! Put it in humor and examine the consequences!

Is it any wonder that SETI is silent?

I thought it happened here, somewhere? If he was over there I doubt he would have done that. But it was a kiss, an overly zealous one and he did kiss her cheeks, it was just the tilting and the body hug I guess. Weird, but their laws are their laws.

OOh, the planet, I heard about it. I find it interesting how we can all possibly think that we're the only planet around with actual life. There has to be others there in our Universe (and they're finally catching up to us!) other than us, and they are not aliens, at least not green ones!

! Wait, do you think there might be interplanetary travel soon, like in the next millenium?!

While he did not think it was the only planet with life, Isaac Asimov postulated that the uniqueness of earth - a large moon, and rich in heavy metals, including radioactive ones, made earth the only one that developed intelligent life. So far, that is all we are sure of, but perhaps one day he will be proved wrong.

Last week, crowds in several Indian cities burned effigies of the 57-year-old star of "An Officer and a Gentleman," "American Gigolo" and "Pretty Woman" after he embraced Shetty and kissed her several times on her cheeks during an HIV/AIDS awareness event in the Indian capital

What an over - reaction.

Yes I got the same sense of comfort for humanity at large, despite it being unreachable. The prospect of setting off in a vessel for the exploration of such a planet is truly an exciting one and I would be first in the queue to go!

Without too much increase in technology, it is reachable in a man's lifetime. Of course Warp drive would not hurt either.

well, if they can get up to 1/2 light speed...1/2 impulse to you trekkies out there...it will take about 40 years each way. of course, some sort of "renewable" fuel source wouldn't hurt either.

They actually have that - in theory. The Ram Jet (scooping Hydrogen out of space). ANd I was careful to say "in a man's" as the time dialation will allow a man to do it, just not anyone he leaves back on earth to witness it.

Now where did I put that warp core??????
