Well… today in the news there are articles about salmonella tainted peanut butter, imported Australian honeybees with some sort of parasite that has scientists worried, and North Korea claiming to have weaponized plutonium.  And of course, on top of all of this, is the insane economy crap.

Earth isn’t looking so good lately.

Ya know, I wonder if the current climate of total worldwide crapitude has led to more or fewer UFO sightings.  You know, as an extra terrestrial, do you look at this and say, "Wow… there’s going to be some real estate opening up there soon!  And you know it’s gonna be cheap!" or do you say, "Dude… they have REALLY screwed that place up.  I’m not touching that with a 4.73 light year glaxnar (that’s the galactic equivalent of a 10 foot pole)."

Me… I’m okay with the end of the world.  I mean, I probably can’t have much personal effect on the bees or the North Koreans or the peanut butter.  All I ask… is please let me finish my degrees first.  If I’m half way done with my dissertation and the world ends… I’m gonna be PISSED!
