Does anybody remember this prank?

BBC Monday 5 July 1999

The SETI@home Website, a project that processes data collected by radio telescopes in a Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project has been hacked.

For about five hours on Sunday, the home page was replaced with a single word - "WANTED" - and an image of ALF, an extraterrestrial from a US TV sitcom of the same name.

The title of the Seti Website was replaced with the words "attention people of Earth..."

If only a real ALF could hack into the screen saver and say "Hi, you've found me. Now what?"

Sometimes I think we are alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we are not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.
