Are You Sure You Want to Invite This Guy Over For Drinks?


Gliese 581D is a planet about 20 light years away in the Libra constellation (groovy, baby!), and is a planet that scientists postulate could possibly support life. Whether it's punch through your stomach and eat your brains life or ET phone home life, well, they just aren't sure.

So why not invite the general population to write messages to whatever may be living on Gliese 581D? HelloFromEarth.net is a site that does just that, switching messages from the public into binary code and will beam them to outerspace, at which time we will shortly become a slave race.

The messages range from the clinically depressed to the totally stoned to the pretty awesome, some of my favorites are below:

When you come here make sure you get a copy of all Britney Spears albums, you're going to love them.

this is awesome - have they beamed any realistic messages to this place? won't they take 20 years to get there? they should send photos of animals and people and a picture of a big smiley face, just to make sure they know we are cool and don't want to fight, ya know?
