Wow signal .... Oh boy it's like 1977 again .... Nothing new since then...

I seriously appreciate and share your cynicism.

It has James Woods...who is a documented genius...
He was a genius driven mad in the Videodrome.

The Lord is not from earth right? Wouldn't that make him an alien?

Pointer Sisters.  Before I forget.   ;D

It does seem like we all get older but we never get newer stories.

Well, duh, Leo.  The Queen is a lizard shapeshifter thing.

Seth has the voice of someone who wears a bow tie.

So, if you ever want to sound chipper, excited about science and...well....really, really smart, here ya go:






Rh- just means you don't have an Rh antigen on your red blood cells.  Why would that imply alien intervention?

Haha! I first read that as "smarmy."  Oops. But, actually, he is.

I'm sorry but it needs to be said. You are like the sweetest lady on the internet. I love your good vibes.  ;D

Thanks for the totally irrelevant post, as usual. Isn't there some extreme right wing fundamentalist Christian forum you could be posting in? You know, somewhere where other posters are Bible thumpers like you?

You're a fundamentalist Christian, too, ChandlersDad. You just don't know it yet. Let's take a journey together.  :)

Seems like everyone is a genius lately .... Next thing, someone is going call Dave genius for saying MV is a genius.

Every time Art mentions the movie Contact, I get the urge to watch it again. Fun movie.
Contact is regularly on cable on one of the Encore channels lately on Sunday mornings. I re-watched it and really could notice that Foster and McConaughey lack on-screen chemistry. Actor William Fichtner is so underrated as the blind SETI researcher Kent (Kent Cullers in real life), IMHO.

OK, Leo Ashcraft, now give me reason to believe rhesus factor is any more interesting in that regard than many other antigenic markers.

Alien Antigen is a great band name

Marilu Henner has a photographic memory! Some great tv show documentaries showing her skills...amazing...

That hello holiday commercial rubs me the wrong way.

Stop insulting me. I had a higher IQ than you when I was just a fetus.

I'm staying out of chat tonite since I want to focus on this show but just gotta drop in and say what a pleasure it is to hear such informed and intelligent technical questions.  I'd almost forgotton after so many cringe-inducing Noorie moments, especially with scientists who were way over his head.  This is great Art!

It does seem like we all get older but we never get newer stories.

I think it's because in the early days of MITD they're staying pretty conservative with their bookings meaning they're having a lot of the old classic guests and topics on. I think there's got to be a lot of new interesting guests out there. For instance someone like a Paul Stonehill (the Russian UFO guy) or some of their out of the box bookings like the astral projection guys or geologists lately will come out of nowhere and captivate me.

But I think all of us hardcore fans can sing along with this interview tonight. But that's okay. It's good for the 95% that don't know and haven't heard everything already.
