Just curious if anyone else out there is like me? I'm referring to "Gliese 581 C," a newly discovered planet 20.5 light years from Earth that scientists are excitedly claiming may be able to support life like ours because it might contain water.
So here we are, spending untold energy and monies to find someplace "out there" that might be able to support life as we know it "down here." But why? We don't invest the time and effort to support our own life systems here on Earth?
Why all the effort? Why all the excitement at this latest discovery of finding someplace we'll probably never be able to visit but, if we could, we'd probably go there and-- just like here-- fuck it up!

touche! so very true..let's take care of what we got here on our beautiful blue planet before we go around the playground and start messing up other's sand castles...
This planet is worn out. Time to fuck up a new one.
yeh, but, what the hell? It's 20.5 light years away....and me with less than 20.5 dark years left?
Wait, WAIT...you think maybe that's what death is? The ability to travel faster than light to paradise-like places, be born again, meet the indigenous peoples there and slaughter 'em so we can decimate the environment and invent wars on a global scale so we can die and move on to the next one, and the next one after that and destroy the shit out of Universe, one planet at a time?
Wow, I shoulda majored in physics or something, huh? ~Dada Copernicus
Heyyy Copernicus, I'm baack. So much to catch up on! About this Gliese planet: do you suppose THAT is what my dog has been barking at? Like she senses there is life 20.5 light yrs away that might try to one day invade her territory? If so, at least my tax $$$ are going for a good cause. Perhaps spending (blankity-blank-billions) will prove to her there is no way that life from that planet could ever affect her life here, so she can stop barking NOW.
Unless ... could it be somehow related to the strangest phone message I've ever heard (upon my return) from my crazy-ass brother blabbing about The 12th Planet having been spotting heading back toward Earth? I THINK he was saying that planet (Mardook? I can't understand his animated syntax) is responsible for our current "civilization" ... maybe they're coming back to cull what was obviously a failed experiment. Then again, he is nutz. ~~ D.K.
Hey, hi raed.....WB! Hope you had a nice vacation...where'd you go? Bahamas, Aruba, Cuba...one of the islands, right?
I'm beginning to doubt that 12th planet will ever get here...it's been being spotted for some years now. But if we're not the result of Mardookians, I'm sure we're the result of genetic messing around by some higher life form that needed slave-like laborers to extract the minerals from their mines.
Of course, they made our aggression gene too dominant, our dominance gene to aggressive and for safety's sake, threw in a god gene, thus assuring we'd evolve to the point of our own destruction before ever presenting a challenge to our creators.
I think your brother's on the right track maybe. Sadly, we're in the middle of a rail yard with umpteen tracks from which to choose.
Let's hoist one to the nefilim, our gene tweaking parents!
No islands; michael moore's cuban boat was full, even for walk-ons!
Gawd, you know more about this 12th planet stuff than my bro who I always assume gets his info from late night radiowaves. He might've mumbled something about nefilim, hard to tell, but I'll gladly hoist one to them. I can tell you this: it was a bit freaky listening to that message immediately upon return from a nice relaxing vacation. I liked your gene tweaking thoughts ... nothing like pre-wiring to eff-up the homoinsaneus experiment.
PS, why 12th, what happened to 11th? I recall rumblings of a Planet X which must mean 10th, but since Pluto is no longer a planet, doesn't that throw the whole theory down the wormhole? ~~ D.K.
Let's send King George II & his dick to this planet.
